Quote From: reginolI'm sure alot of you will probably not like what I have to say, but I'm going to say it anyway. I listen to all the whinning and complaining on todays show and I'm so tired of hearing about these women that don't work outside the home talking about how bad they have it. I work, go to school, my husband works and goes to school and we have a nine year old daughter that needs my time to. I don't have anytime for myself either and I only have one child. Well, get a clue, if your husband isn't helping on the first child, what makes you think he's going to help when you have 3 or four. Besides didn't you know this going into the marriage that he wasn't going to assist especially if you are a "stay at home mom"... That should be something that is discussed before you have kids. Also, women that have small kids I have some sympathy for, but those of you that have school age kids and you are home all day doing "housework", why does the house need to be cleaned everyday? If you keep up with it regularly, it shouldn't be that much. For the lady that her husband kept having a vasectomy and it didn't work, how bout changing doctor's or the woman having her tubes tied. I guess I may be too hard on some of you, but I'm really tired of hearing about all these mom's that don't work talk about how much they have to do. Stop having so many kids....
Okay...I am going to count to ten before I respond to this one.......
Well, aren't you just a selfless martyr?? You and your husband work and go to school and you have ONE child. Please....I work and go to school and I have three children, ages 3, 2 , and 3 months old. NONE of my children were planned, apparently my body metaboizes birth control too quickly so it is much less effective. Didn't realize this till after we'd tried several. Not only this, but, my husband left me for some bimbo co-worker when I was 5 months pregnant with the youngest and on bedrest. What makes you think that all of these women planned on having three or four children? You have no right to judge that until you ask them. Things happen. And don't even get me started on the comment that a husband/father shouldn't help out just b/c the mom is a stay-at-home-mom. The husband can clock in and out of his job. Once he leaves the office, he's done for the day and has no further obligation for that day. An average husband will work 40-60 hours per week. It is sooo different for a mother! Mom doesn't get to clock out and just say, "I'm done for the day!" A mother is on call 24/7. She is a chauffer, a chef, maid, nurse, teacher, accountant, personal assistant...among many other things I'm sure. Now, my father actually APPRECIATED this about my mother and went and added up all of the things she did and how much time she spent doing them. He then figured out how much she would be paid based on the average salary for each of these professions. He found that it was four times his salary and he made VERY good money. The old saying is true: A mother's work is never done. I have more going on than some of the others here, but I would NEVER consider berating or judging them based on my personal experiance. Its not right and certainly not fair.
