yeah, my head was full of questions, and i couldn't begin to guess what it was all about. i don't know whether they didn't pull the contact card or whether they pulled it and it was incomplete or outdated, but i suspect
Have you ever had to run out of the house, w/out your phone fully charged, and by the time you got home, the battery was low....or heaven forbid, even dead?
What would make the difference if you were home then? Also if it happened when you were out, wouldn't you have a car charger with you?
I have spotty reception in my children's middle/high school--then you wouldn't need to worry because you would be at the school and I thread is about a child getting hurt in school, correct?
in the local hospital--how often are you in your local hospital?
in an wealthy area that doesn't want cell towers on the horizon smack dab in the middle of civilations....it doesn't have to be remote--are these wealthy areas a place you drive through on a constant basis and how long of a stretch would you be without cellphone service?
A landline yes, cell phone it varied....my post clearly states that I would not have 3 incoming lines, fax, email and coworker to help get a message if I was in the restroom and so forth where I couldn't answer the phone at home like I do at work, not that I didn't have a phone."
How old are your children that you had a cellphone when you were a sahm? If you are speaking of the landline days and a sahm not being home, then I can understand but many sahm's have landlines, cellphones, faxes and email that they can be contacted by during the day. You don't have to work outside the home to have these.
"I'm a sahm 3 days out of 7 under the new definition rule of sahm, yes they are in school. I was a full time sahm at various times when they were infants and no they weren't in school."
Sorry, but I don't call that a sahm but what do I know with all these new political terms. These are the definitions I have found and if you ever worked, you were not considered a sahm:
"A stay-at-home mom is defined by the Census Bureau as a woman who has a child under the age of 15 and has been out of the work force for a year while her spouse has been working continuously during the same year. Under that definition, stay-at-home moms represent about 24 percent of mothers. Women who earn income from a job from home do not fit the description."
"a wife who who manages a household while her husband earns the family income"
"a parent who stays at home to look after their children instead of working outside the home"

I don't like the alternative, so it's a situation that is way outside of my comfort zone.

No, that would be incorrect actually.
