Ok, sounds like you believe a woman should limit herself to one child only lest they think their mother doesn’t love them because she doesn’t hover over them at every moment. No wonder why so many young adults have trouble coping with the realities of growing up into independent people who do not need their moms to tie their shoes or do their homework for them. Kids love being with their parents, but they also love playing with their siblings and friends and love some alone time. Mine also happen to love playing with their sitter, she’s awesome! And do you really prefer that your child not exist if you could only spend 4 hours a day with them instead of 5?[/quote]

Not really.  My reply to you was in response to your overall tone and flippant attitude towards taking care of children.  You are clearly one of those women who views her children as accessories, and undoubtedly you are having four because you think it’s a status symbol.  It has nothing to do with the amount of time you do or don’t spend with your kids or about how much time other people spend with their kids.  Your attitude just comes through so strongly in your posts it’s impossible not to notice.[/quote]

What's funny to me, as an outsider to this conversation, is that YOU, prior PP, are the one with the attitude. The original PP wants to outsource stuff like making her kids' lunches or doing laundry or cleaning the kitchen but you want to act like it means when a child starts to cry she just pages the sitter to take care of it. That's not at all what she said. Also, original PP NEVER SAID that she was better than anyone who makes different decisions than she does, yet you (and some of the other posters, unless they're all you) act you are better than the first PP because you clean your kid's toilet. Seriously, take a long look at why you're being so nasty to someone. [/quote]
