[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We all realize of course that this is a conversation of women of privilege.  We live in this rarified educated world of choices: "It's MY choice to stay home"... "It's MY choice to work"....

"Bringing home a paycheck" is not just for a "sense of accomplishment" as a PP stated.   For many women it's to keep a roof over her family's head and food on the table.

Gimme a break.   The sanctimonious attitudes from both sides is ridiculous.  Realize that most people don't live in this world.[/quote]

I posted, not long ago, about doing little else but taking my special needs child.  At this point, because of his unusual condition, I have to keep him home with me.  He can have violent outbursts and be a danger to other children.  When I tried to get early interventions for him the testing was done on a good day and he missed the cut off because he was too intelligent.  I have struggled to get him into see the right kind of professionals but his disorder is so rare in children his age that no one would see him and it took 6 months of phone calls to find someone to even treat him and this provider has no real idea how to do it so now we are trying to get him into treatment studies.

I have no choice but to stay home.  My job is taking care of my child and making sure he is getting all the help he can.
