thinking its mad, how everyone assumes your going to return to work, when your dcs start school?

[milkgoddessmakesthefinestmilk]

im not planning to, i want to be the one that takes dd to school picks her up from school is there if shes sick or on holiday.

don't school children have about 3 months of hols a year?

saymyname, why don't you have a look my other posts
im not just pro SAHM and pro BF

I would if I could care less, but I really couldn't.

Ah posie, time to develop an outside interest!

True, you come across as pro-wine quite frequently. I think we'd get on

How terribly convenient posie

stop it, i certainly do not define myself by my profession, i was mearly responding to your nit picking post of

" "my profession is pharmacist"

I thought your profession was SAHM now?

Your professions was pharmacist."

I have many outside interests.

I think it's time I left this thread - it's not possible to have reasoned debates around this issue. What preoccupies me is the fact that women still mostly only earn a fraction of what men do, they have limited careers, little financial independence, restricted pensions and all of these things are issues that should be troubling us all - if not for ourselves then for our DCs.

"Your incapacity to think that some women are very happy and satisfied looking after their children during their formative years. Your need to try and make others feel small and worthless for the choices they make in their lives." I have no need to do any such thing - you've consistently posted that you don't approve of women working which suggests to me that the problem is yours.

And finally, there is a wonderful thread for those affected by drink and there are some heartwarming stories of courage and honesty on there.

Seriously, posie, I think you do sound unhappy and ill at ease somehow. I can't quite pin it down but your posts sound as if something is about to burst inside.

If findtheriver is a poor man's Quattro then Quattro is Xenia-lite

I have not consistently posted that I don't approve of women working that is a blatant lie to undermine my position. I think if it makes you happy you should work and have stated as such many times. My position is that children in nursery from 6 weeks 8-6, 5 days a week is wrong.
Quattro that is a dirty dirty trick.

IliketoMarmiteMarmite, this debate really winds me up.

I think very few Mums are totally SAH when their children are all at school. I am trying to think of DS's Y2 class of 30 and there is only one that comes to mind who is SAH with no pre-school children. And she does do relief dinnerlady. Although I think this is more for the good of the school than the money as she is quite involved in the school. However the majority of these Mums work part time.

And am pregnant so ever so slightly, ah-hem, mad.

thats actually really nasty to intentionally misquote someone like that, i have never seen pp post anything of the sort.
you should apolagise for that.

Milkgoddess, thank you.

Well take a break and think about something else, don't let it affect you so badly. You've got to be able to argue the toss without it making you boil over.

Not to say I don't boil over myself sometimes.

Time for a little chilly rose for me I think.

Good luck ladies (oh and surely poor woman's Quattro, if anything...?)

slightly.....

And CapricaSix that sounds perfickly reasonable for your 2 days off. Most interesting to see. Thank you.

I'm off to watch super intellectual TV of the Cowell kind!! This is all good for the writing journal, bloody loads of material!
But thanks for your concern, I think!! Please have a glass for me.

LOL Caprica I wasn't in such a rush to the fridge that I missed your post. Thanks for replying.

This thread has Dark Powers. You think you can leave but...
