[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fully expect that, in a few years, my teenage daughters will explain how my career ruined their lives.  Unless I stay home at some point between now and then, in which they'll explain that my being lazy is ruining their lives. :)[/quote]

How is not working for money being lazy?[/quote]

Plus one.  I mean, come on, seriously.  Signed, working mom[/quote]

If you read the post you will see that she is talking about a teenagers point of view. No matter what she chooses, her teenaged kids are going to find fault with it. There was also a siley to indicate that she was being light hearted.

I am lucky, I am a working Mom who is able to be home and done with work by the time my 6 year old gets home from school. He ends up with the best of both words. He gets the benefit of two incomes and essentially has the benefits of a stay at home parent. I wish more families had flexible jobs that allow the work or stay at home decision a lot easier.

DS knows that we both work, we both discuss how our day was.

But my families decision was made on what was best for us, not what type of example we were setting for our child. [/quote]
