For those of you that WOH and say you have to do it to make ends meet. Do you really do it to make ends meet or do you do it cause you want to keep up a certain lifestyle? Do you know how to live with out debt or without having to keep up with the joneses?


ETA Please excuse all my siggys. Obviously I dont know how to turn them off. I thought I did.

How weird is this? Why would you even imply such a ridiculous comment. You think Iam stalking you?

Maybe you should worry about you, instead of what others are doing here.

That is your personal opinion, I in no way have any interest in you.

There is a difference. She is a SAHM. Your DCP is being paid to watch your child. She doesn't have a job.

Surely you understand that just because SAHM's do not have a job doesn't mean they don't work.

that should be easy for you to substantiate. Name five--by name. Give references.

While I know that this was a topic not brought up by you. I have to ask. What relevance is your question to SAH/WOH?

:::shrug:::: That's some fascinating posturing, no doubt. But the fact remains, if you think it's a stupid ploy, that begs the question why you indulged the ploy first.

Are you telling us you are under the bizarre and ridiculous notion that the vast majority of workers are direct reports to the CEO (or equivalent) of their respective employers?

I don't doubt there are many workplaces that don't allow internet access. But that's why, when I joined this subthread, I specified "modern offic environments." I think it would be hard to find very many modern office environments without internet access. m3t conveniently is trying to change my parameters to include a lot more than modern office environments.

So, I'll beat her to the punch. I can list a bunch of jobs that probably don't have internet access.

Service jobs -- Your average local beat cop, housekeeper, plumber, or construction worker probably doesn't have internet access at work
Entertainment -- Your average broadway producer, actor, chorus girl or prostitute probably doesn't have internet access at work
Retail -- Your average Target, WalMart or heck, even your local Hallmark clerk, probably doesn't have internet access at work

All of which, of course, doesn't make what I said about "modern office environments" false or unsupported. I'd like to see a list of modern office environments that don't have internet access.

I work for a children's museum, and it's not that we don't have internet access (we do). We just aren't allowed to be spending all day online. We are supposed to be doing our jobs.

Cops have internet access. The ones I have seen have computers in their car.

Also, when I was a retail cashier, I was able to pull up the internet on the register. Sometimes, if I was waiting for an important email, I would save it in a separate window from the register application and check periodically. Really, we weren't supposed to be doing that, though. I only did it while waiting for news about a relative in the hospital.
