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.

I think they should NOT set up a loan for her to pay it back. They should sue her in a civil lawsuit & get a judgment against her that can start accruing interest. That's really ridiculous.

I agree. They need to set an example or everyone will try to start getting away with this. It's disgraceful.

<<

You are having a discussion with his wife and it's a negative discussion.>>>

I suggest you look BACK at her statement about me. She posted that I was talking negatively about her DH. I did NO such thing. His wife made a comment about her DH actions. Again her statement was false and you trying your hardest to change that fact doesn't work.

<<1. You have stated that you example relates to the op. The op where she is judging the parents who use daycare every minute that they pay for.>>

Yes it does relate. Dad is home for 2 hours many days his DD is in dacyare. They pay me by the hour so if he picked her up they wouldn't be paying anyway.

2. You have stated that it's sad, odd and that they might want to re-think their priorities since you claim this baby prefers you to the father.

I do think it is sad that his DD prefers me over him. I think it is sad he doesn't chose to spend more time with her.

3. Then you claim that you don't think there is anything wrong with what the parents are doing.>>

So? Why would I ever say something was wrong with it? She isn't my child. I never said that he was WRONG to begin with. You want to replace the term ODD with WRONG. Not happening. I never said WRONG. I said ODD...HUGE difference. I can't explain that fact to you any other way.

<>

It does relate in the fact that he wants to leave his DD is odd to me. I think it is sad that she prefers me over him. I have explained to you more than once how I think this relates to the OP statement. If you want to continue to ignore that go ahead.

<<>

My statement relates in that I have a father that will leave his DD in daycare until the very last minute of the day. I have told you this over and over. Just because it doesn't relate the way you want it to doesn't make it unrelated. Are the situations the exact same as the OP? No. Do they relate? Yes.

You really have a hard time with this. If something isn't the exact same as what you think it is wrong right? You said...UNCALLED FOR..nothing more nothing less. YOU have made uncalled for comments to me. That is why the POT KETTLE BLACK statement is correct.

I am not going to jump through your hoops. No matter how hard you try you know what you said. What I said stands.

Are you disagreeing withthe concept of conscientious objector or this particular case?

I think a person that has come to the conclusion that war is immoral should be accomodated. I don't think she should be discharged, but sent to where she can still serve her country and payback her contract in a non-war setting. Perhaps as peacekeeper, perhaps in a VA hospital.

Yep a couple of times I have been told that deployment isn't a choice. I have explained how the accident relates.
