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.

Wouldn't you agree that there is such a thing as too much daycare? I don't believe I have ever said anything on the subject as anything being appropriate when it comes to daycare hours. How much DC do you think is no longer a good thing? To be honest I would think that in most circumstances a child in daycare 60+ hours a week would be excessive.

OH OH OH OH!!! Another one of your leaps...add it to that list I have posted for you. No the baby that I care for isn't in DC too many hours. I have her about 45 hours per week. I don't belive for once that I have said she loves me more than her parent so why did you lie about my statements?

I bet you are confused. You continually make false statements about me, and instead of reading what I write you are interpreting what I write WRONG. Please show me any post of mine that says that I don't approve of dc running, 40, 50, 60 hours per week. When you do then we will chat...other than that your posts are filled with nothing but LIES about my statements.

Or how about us. We drive 10 yo, paid for cars, rent, but our girls had designer prom gowns, wedding gown, etc. And I have worn desginer clothing to work.

My ex is military. . .I was a proud military wife for 15 years. . .PNJs statement wasn't a low blow. It is a fact of military life.
Calimom can't have it both ways. . .she' can't criticize WOHMs for the time they are way from their kids and expect to keep her husband's deployed status out of the fray.
Actually, from a research standpoint, research on children with military parents had found that the way the non-deployed parent handles the deployment has a greater impact on the children than the deployment itself. So, if kids can handle deployments without needing major therapy, why can't they handle WOHMs?
To be honest, I just wouldn't generalize in any way about how much dc is too much dc because it really *all depends*.
I've asked before, but I'll ask again: Just why did you even bring up that baby in the first place?
Obviously, you've just proven my point by admitting you think 60 hours of dc per week is too much dc. Not that you hadn't already, several times over. How about 50? Would 50 meet with your approval? Or would you start looking out for those troubling indications that *you* might be raising that child and not his parents, or that the child *prefers* you over his parents, or some other disastrous outcome of too much dc?
