what made you decide to do what you do?

In the interest of changing the subject back to something that is actually relevant to a SAH/WOH debate (LOL!), I will pose a question to anyone who wants to answer:
Who or what would you say was the greatest influence on your decision to SAH or WOH, whichever one you do (or want to do, if you aren't doing what you want)? Did any particular person, circumstance, situation, or anything else lead you to decide this question one way or the other?
What if two different influences conflicted? How did you make the decision then?

A room full of books. They have no choice about the library, its a required school activity. They are also allowed to pick books from bookstores, and from the monthly school fundraising activities.

Huh. Nope, I just don't see how having downtime requires a one-activity limit per kid.
My suggestion is to make sure your GP does FBS yearly ... Fasting Blood Sugars. I wouldn't have I had to suffer thru those awful two years.

And why wasn't your daughter involved? I do know, from my generation, no shortage of women who can complain to the stars about how their brothers had all the sports opportunities, the girls nothing.
I'd like to see the stats on healthy adults vs active kids.

Funny, but reading didn't seem to hurt me. I was the fastest runner in my school well into 8th grade. I have three Presidential Physical Fitness Awards. I ran track and x-country in high school. Have always swam and used to play tennis off and on. I also roller skated for years.
All that reading did have one benefit. It meant I could converse on just about any topic with anyone, no matter what their job title or education level. Probably why my husband adores me -- because I can carry on a decent conversation.

a)the rebuttal was penned by someone who is not too smart
b)the rebuttal was penned by someone who can't come up with a rebuttal, but is counting on being able to use my own position against me by invoking a particular tone (works on a good percentage of the board, just not me and maybe a handfull of others)
c)the rebuttal has nothing to do with what was posted, but the poster just wants to disagree with Opinion123 - probably hasn't read any of the actual debate (often hard to differentiate poster type c) from poster type a)).
Any which way, I'm doing great.
I check fasting in the morning and I check 2hrs after each meal = 4x day
(my OB said I only had to 3 days a week since I'm doing so wonderful, but I still check it alot more than that).
TIA and hope you don't mind my asking.
Are you saying that you never really considered it your responsiblity as a parent to try and encourage your children towards being physically fit and healthy?
