if they have nothing better to do than sit on mumsnet thinking up unpleasantries about working mothers and their childcare arrangements to justify their own life choices.

OK all too complicated for me! But point taken

Sorry Kerala, you didn't deserve that. I should step away from these threads I think.

I'm not sure if I count as a SAHM or a WOHM because I am with DD everyday, she attends preschool twice a week the same as her friends with proper SAHM, but I go out and work 2 nights a week whilst she is asleep. So although I'm technically as WOHM, yet I spend the same amount of time with DD as my SAHM friends do with theirs. I love not fitting into a pigeonhole!

Oh, I really realllllly like the idea of SAHI...that sounds so me...sigh...where did I go wrong...oh yes, it is coming back....I had children, not just one, I didn't stop at two neither, no I thought three was a great idea....I mean, whatever would give me that idea...

and anyway, I am now in limbo...I am not a SAHM anymore, but I am not a WOHM neither...I am a Student and a mum....do I have to pin that badge through my flesh and get banned or do I get branded with some hot iron, or will I be having all of the above......yikes [wince]

where is the other thread?

Hi.
I feel so awful about my insane OP on the other thread. I can't beleive I wrote it the way I did!
I didn't even consider how people who used the nurseries would feel.

I was meaning to criticise the inadequate nurseries certainly not the parents who use them.

I asked MNHQ to delete it very early this morning before it kicked off but they didn't want to

I@m too tired to even keep up. Wheres this oher threaD?

Here's the other thread, bronze - though I warn you it is 17 pages long!!

Goodomen - huge respect for you for coming on here and apologising as you have - that can't have been easy. Unlike the poster who's created such a lot of upset on the other thread, you have read what people posted and learned from it.
