Quote From: purplepenny"My husband says I'm crazy for worrying so much..." If your husband is saying you have mental health problems maybe you should listen to him? "We do not live extravagantly (as is the belief)" Who has this belief? I don't. I take your word on your finances. Do you understand that when someone says something about themselves it does not mean they are implying the opposite about you? It's not always about your Kira. Maybe you should listen to your husband. It's been a while since I posted but life as a working Mom is very busy. Most days I don't have time to "stop and smell the roses" . Anyhow, my husband is saying what he does in a joking manner...he's like that. I'm not the one going into therapy, that would be you. I just get frustrated at people like you who don't take responsibility for what they say. Yes, you have implied that dual income families live more extravagantly than you with no house, no yard and no new clothes. I explained that a lot of dual income families don't have those things either and you had a snippy, snide remark about what a good job your husband must have. It must not be that good if he can't provide a house for his family. I do not believe you are doing any better for your daughter being home than I am by using daycare. That goes for you and Jetta and anyone else who thinks daycare is a horrible, negative, traumatic experience for my kids. I sleep well at night knowing they have what they need and a few things they want. Financially, not that it's your business, we are far better off than most of our friends even though our salaries are lower. Maybe you don't have what you do because you manage money poorly and that's too bad for your daughter to have a poor example. I can also point out things I believe are a poor example for your daughter just by what you've posted on these boards. I don't see the need to do that unless necessary. You made your comments, yes, they hurt and yes I fought back. I won't befriend you now because you feel bad (or not) for saying something out of line. That's exactly what it was- OUT OF LINE for you to say anything about my life, my kids or what I do with them. Like the other poster said, NONE of us can pat ourselves just yet...our kids are still little. Also, depending on what situation you have certain things might be more important for your kids to learn than others. For example, in a snow ridden climate shoveling snow might be useful to know but here in the land of sunshine it's a moot point. Same goes for boys and girls...my boys need to learn to be men and your daughter needs to learn different things depending on what she wants from life.
