I remind them how infrequently this happens, and that we had lunch together, which few school children do during the week.Leticiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170455690163831806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197950707146736818.post-72944168999633118182007-02-09T15:16:00.000-05:002007-02-09T15:16:00.000-05:00I had a PTA Officer's meeting last night that last...I had a PTA Officer's meeting last night that lasted till 9:00pm (yikes!). My kids went to bed/sleep without me telling them goodnight. They were peeved at me this morning, but I told them that if I worked, they might have to go to bed everynight without me! I take every opportunity to show them how lucky they are I stay home.Motherhenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00847866120253288588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197950707146736818.post-81889229699111455262007-02-08T20:51:00.000-05:002007-02-08T20:51:00.000-05:00I have a McMansions development near me, and I alw...I have a McMansions development near me, and I always point out the expensive but empty play equipment to my girls as they ogle it as we pass by.<BR/> I say, "do you know why there are no little kids on that jungle gym? It's cause their Mom and Dad are both out working, killing themselves to pay for that stuff, and the children are at daycare all day!.Leticiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170455690163831806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197950707146736818.post-9929971996585405232007-02-08T12:10:00.000-05:002007-02-08T12:10:00.000-05:00Happy Anniversary.

I do get some weird looks though from passersby. I guess they aren't used to seeing a woman home during the day while everyone else is working.Motherhenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00847866120253288588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197950707146736818.post-28500137317507051832007-02-07T16:20:00.000-05:002007-02-07T16:20:00.000-05:00Congrats on the anniversary!

My wife and I had our 15th this past year too!<br /><br />As far as needing to justify staying at home, I think that people need to justify not having a parent staying at home. IMHO, the decline in society has been a direct result of the decline in the family. Sometimes, both parents have to work to make ends meet. But too often it is to enjoy more things. People have to do what they have to do, but it is better to have a parent at home for the kids.RobKPhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16220380405943891911noreply@blogger.com
