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.

What is hilarious here is that when I said I thought it was odd that a father would rather leave his DD with me as his CC provider than spend time with her he just needs a break, or I am judging, or it is none of my business what he does etc. Yet you call someone lazy that doesn't work and the spouse does. Watch for the flying bullets.

I didn't say it would happen. I said that if it weren't for people like calimom's DH the military wouldn't be voluntary.

Better let PNJ know that. She thinks it is a consequence as well.

Thank you for proving my point. A choice is different that consequence.

I did answer your question. You just needed easier words.

<>

You asked me **I'm just wondering how many other different parenting choices that you judge to be odd.**

I answered with **Well considering there are an endless amount of parenting choices I don't think I could possibly be able to answer this question. Why would you even ask this anyway?**

Looks like an answer to me.

<>

Let me think of a good round number. Probably about 2 million. Is that a better answer for you?

<>

Oh sure I find a lot of things people do to be odd. Just as I am sure many find what I do to be odd.

<>

Ok again...if you want to think me saying something is sad or odd is bashing...be my guest.

Your question was answered more than once. It may not be what you want to hear but I have answered it every way I know how.

No not laziness but i think that's what most women say b/c they are jealous. My marriage is so much better once I stopped working. DH takes care of things outside the house and I take care of things inside the house. When both of us worked it was total chaos. He would freak out if I told him I wanted to go back to work now b/c he sees how good he has it with me not working. I think a lot of women say they have to work, when in reality, it's their husbands that would never allow them NOT to work (regardless of how much money he made and how finanically secure they could be on one income).

I plan to volunteer 20 to 30 hours a week in retirement and/or get my M. Div.

Sounds like getting an MDiv and/or doing volunteer work ARE your whims.
