Mumsnet Talk

Been reading various threads on mn with interest for several weeks now.why do u ladies feel do pessimistic about ur work life balance and compete with the ' oh poor me title'. If you want a better quality of life, surely u can downsize and have less financial Responsibilty and then look after ur dc yourself instead of paying others to look after them. I just don't get why you have kids unless you wanna love And look them yourself. This doesnt apply to single parents.is the financial gain worth it?

Who, me?

Oh dear. Sparks will fly methinks.

I dunno, ask my husband. he insists on working as well rather than see us starve. the selfish bastard.

Hoo r u?

<<SOUNDS KAXON!!!!!!!>>

And gets popcorn out whilst preparing to stay up all night...

Lol!! Well I don't know, are u one of them tweasels?

0/10 for effort.

Best of luck, OP.

You're about to get shredded.

So should intelligent, driven, talented women who have plenty to contribute to the world tie themselves to the kitchen sink and sing nursery rhymes as SOON as they bag a man to finance them, or wait til they manage to procreate?

Where would you like me to downsize to exactly?
I think that I speak for most of us here in saying "Jog on, there's a dear!"

oh yipee! i love these ones.

<settles down with popcorn>

Oh Jenna, if only life were so simple.

Pardon?

What a ridiculous post.

I have a feeling she is new born.

Erm ok ....

Thank you for your insight .

Oh dear.....

Nkf, I'm a sahm, who lives within my means because I believe I'm the best educator/ facilitator for my child. She will grow up and then I have time to focus on' my goals and desires'. Dp fully supports me.

Lolling straight back at you Jenna. Nice first post.
