[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I'm shocked at all the comments which blame the mom for working.  How the hell are they suppose to support 3 kids if they don't work and you have no right to judge how many kids they have.  I feel like kids of this age and this "class" are a bit too entitled.  When my child tells me they need something last minute I tell them no.  Learn to plan ahead, I'm not your maid or your nanny.  Even if I do have the time I refuse to do anything last minute and I don't like to buy them stuff even though I do tend to give in.  I grew up poor and I never saw my mom because she worked constantly to put me through private school.  I never questioned why she had to work or asked her for anything other than what was necessary.. and most times not even that.  I knew we just didn't have the money.  To be honest, my kids piss me off sometimes with everything that they have.  They don't know how good they have it and they are not grateful when you give them everything they ask for.  [/quote]

You must not have read the OP very carefully.  She and/or her husband could easily scale back or have a SAHP.  Money is not the issue.  In fact, she's mentioned throwing money at the "problem" of having to spend more time with her child.  She's thinking of hiring someone to do all the inconvenient parenting for her.  What about this aren't you getting?  OP's situation is nothing at all like yours/your mom's.[/quote]
