1. Will you be shopping on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

2. "5 months of bills...." as the song says. Do you have a budget for the holidays or do you have "5 months of bills..."?

3. What is one food that most people make for Thanksgiving that you do not like?

4. Do you dress up for Thanksgiving?

Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't. I can do much of it at home.

ITA that moms need to take care of themselves BUT I do believe children still need their mothers and just because a mother can and will teach them the skills to leave the house earlier than others, does not mean that ALL her needs come first.

I used to hold a couple of chairperson positions. I don't now. I'm sorry that I didn't notify you when things changed.

Isn't that hte whole point of raising children? To teach them what they need to know so that they'll be fine on their own?

Do you agree or disagree that the point of raising children is to teach them what they need to know so that they'll be fine on their own?

I think exercise is not a want but a need for good physical and mental health. My husband and I approach exercise differently, I run and he does yoga, but it's and integral part of our life as we carve out time almost daily in our schedules. Our kids know that exercise is a lifelong activity for good health and I hope they will do the same.

Really? I think you'd have to actually experience a cleaning service to know how you'd react. Your hypothetical experience is irrelevent.

ALL my NEEDS come before my children's wants.

Ah, but in order to not be a selfish parent, you must drag the kids out of bed at 5am and take them with you out into the pre-dawn cold so that you can guarantee that not one minute of their consciousness is spent away from you (lest they wake up before you get back home).

No. I didn't cut any of the sentence.
