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.

<< um,what's your point?

let's pretend my *total* number of posts here through the course of many years was 12,620 (identical to yours,but far from close)....that time was never at another's expense. >>


Whose time is at another's expense? (not counting children, of course ;-) When you answer--rather, IF you answer, because I doubt you will--please be prepared to back that up with something. TIA.

And what is that point?

Isn't it at the expense of your children?

And we can hardly use the number below your name, since you're on your 4th screename. (Or is it 5th?)

It was never at your children's expense? You only post when your children are in someone else's care?

Fair enough. For some reason, I would have expected a more generalized question as the WOHMs on this board cover quite a range of professions.

Because I'm an accountant?

So then again, please explain what the point is.


What's your profession?

My point is that you spent a good part of the day "debating". If you are doing your job as it's supposed to be done, you shouldn't be posting at the same time. As for this mattering, I guess it only matters to you and your employer. If he/she feels you are doing a job well done, then it doesn't matter one bit.

That's it's not as clear as your screen name as you stated, since you have had multiple screen names.

"So then again, please explain what the point is."

See my previous post.

"What's your profession?"

All I will say is that I am a FTWOHM in a respected, well paid field. I'd rather not get too personal.
