(22,271 posts)I say lil Miss Amy is full of shit. Being a GOOD parent is the most important thing there is. There is no higher calling.
Not everyone is cut out to do the 9-5 thing. I wasn't. Unfortunately, because I had to support myself (and sometimes my spouse, as he has done for me -- see? that's how that marriage thing works), I had no choice. Running a home can be a full-time job as well. Now that I'm down to part-time I do virtually all the housework, most of the laundry, all the banking, all of the budgeting, all the bill paying and I save my family tons of money by cooking from scratch and doing home canning. All of that contributes to the bottom line just as much as a job in which I bring home a paycheck. Now, add to that children? I don't know how they do it.
Lil Miss Amy sounds like she's about 23 and still wet behind the ears.
