>> You can compare staying home and caring for infant as "feeding and watering" and no one bats an eyelash? <<

Just speaking for myself here, but it was clear to me that she was specifically talking about the physical aspects of raising and caring for a child when she said "feeding and watering." And ONLY those aspects. Obviously there is much more to it than that, but that's not what she was talking about.

Those were my words, and you apologized for misinterpreting them. Now you are ascribing them to someone else and misinterpreting them all over again. Why?

It means what it says, I don't come here to change minds, just to share what's in mine.


So there isn't a need for me to explain things twice to people b/c I don't think they would nor do I want to change their minds, as long as they know what I mean that's good enough for, although I seem to be having a hard time getting my point across with you.


Oh well...

I truly, truly, truly hope that you are using "you" in this post as the general you and don't mean me/talbot specifically.

No, you didn't. You specifically said that each and every one of us debating with you had put down SAHPs. I'm simply asking for some sort of backup to that statement.

But that ISN'T what you said before. It might have been what you meant, but it's not what you said.

Yes, that's true. I just read your post to whoville and I can't make heads nor tails of it.

Someone else who is referring to that post and telling me I am playing games. Yes, statements like that could be viewed negatively if I wanted to put on twist on them.

I am trying very hard to be objective here, but I still think there's a double standard going on. Like I said, I can take statements taken here and inject my own meaning into them.
