If you're a WOH/WAH mom, what sort of "downsizing" would you need to do in order to afford to be a SAHM? (SAHM defined here as not earning any money)

For me, I would have to put all our non-essential possessions in storage and move in with my parents.

So then what happens to the kids who don't have parental or guardian support when schools rely on parental involvement in education and aren't giving a basic education without that support?

So if she misses 2 projects you will simply state to her to "get her act together"? :0

they were B+s not Bs and I think one was in English and one was in Religion -- bless my heart my child got an A+ in math -- thank god she takes after her dad and not me. and I know the grade in English is b/c she tends to forget periods at the end of sentences... LOL

Yes, the kids are held responsible for their homework in our school as well....not the parents.

how about I wait utnil she misses ONE which she (all together now ) HASN'T DONE YET..' she's never missed a deadline which is why I (again) TRUST HER. If she misses this one and is in fact wrong then I 'll tell her to shape up and knowng Liza there won't be a second time.
