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.

Ok...I will put this in simple words. I can't possibly answer your question. There is no way to have an opinion on millions and millions of parenting choices. No diversion. Just clear logic that no one could possibly have an opinion on millions of parenting choices. Do you have an opinion on millions of parenting choices?

If you think saying something is odd is bashing then ok.

I really don't know how to be anymore clear. Other than to say that the question is at best silly. It really didn't make a lot of sense. So if my answer didn't make any sense to you there probably is a good reason for that.

It isn't a grasp. It is how I felt what I stated related to the OP statement. Just like you interpret the word odd to be wrong. You asked how what I said related and I told you. What else would you like me to say?

I havent made any judgements about her parents. They are great people, and I am glad that I was able to help them out this year. No judgements...again if I were judging him I would have said I find what he does wrong. If he were doing something I found to be wrong I would no longer keep their DD. His wife made mention to him about being late to pick the baby up on several occasions and that has been cleared up. Other than that, I have no issues with him. They can do what they feel is right for their DD. Doesn't mean it is what I would do.

If it is still a mystery to you then you aren't reading. I have explained it to you how I felt it to be relevent. If you chose to ignore that or call it a grasp...again be my guest. Doesn't change what I said or how I think it is totally relevent.

I never said enlisting or re enlisting wasn't a choice.

Um, it wasn't my post you were referring to. . .so *I* didn't say HE was in a war zone, but if he was on cruise in the Mid-East then he was in a war zone.

You are correct. Sorry about that. However some here have called being away for a period of time deployment. It doesn't have to be a war zone.

That is correct (and that WAS me). Any period of time spent away from ones home base for peacetime training purposes (as in, not at a specific military school) or war is considered a deployment.

When her husband goes on a 6 month cruise, it is a deployment whether or not it is to a war zone. . .

Sure it is. If a person didn't want to be deployed, they don't sign up with one of the armed forces. It's not like the recruters keep deployment a secret.

You are back-pedaling now. You have bashed him through this whole thread. If you are now feeling bad about it, good -- you should be.
