And I had opptys. to stay home, a couple of very successful ex boyfriends but I wasn't interested. As evidenced by my choices...

It doesn't matter *who* stays home as long as someone who loves that child does.

They do so well with a parent home. sigh

What is interesting is the animosity between women who work and are moms and women who stay at home. I think that whatever choice you make is cool. doesn't mean you are a good mom or bad mom either way.

And yet, RP is going to get all snarly in response to my post, not yours. Just watch.

Did you just call me Coltrane? · 08-24-2006, 02:21 PM

Is it gone or am I crazy?

Anyway, I'm buying a new car. Here's what I've (sort of) narrowed it down to:

Audi A3 (i love it - wife does not like)
Saab 9-3
Acura TL
Infiniti G35 (2007)
Adobe
Other

Pick my ride. Quickly. My Grand Cherokee is falling apart faster than I can say "shitcockballsmotherfucker!"

I'm not offended by what she wrote and I would love to stay at home.

I am not offended, I agree its just choice. Work v. stay at home. Kids v . no kids. Marriage v no marraigh.

But to call one choice regarding stay at home or work slavery, doesn't make sense. Unless the person in the role truly did not have an effective choice. Or was shackled or something. npi.

Uhhh, I think you're ok here but did you check with Mr. Thurgreed (Sir) before you posted this? I hear he gets real mad if you don't clear your posts with him beforehand. Real mad.

Which one does your wife like? Get that one. Slave.

The car board is not dead.

Hopefully you've found it somewhere other than here at Lawtalkers High!

Me too. Coltrane as Mr. Mom. I'm in.

Honey, if you call and I'm not home, I'll be at the gym or the gun club.

I think that animosity is bullshit mainly fueled by the media. I have never witnessed it, and my friends - about 50/50 on SAH vs. WOH (or "work for pay," in the PC parlance) haven't really encountered it, either.

Without nfh, what's the point, really?

I vote minivan. Maybe you should set up another poll?

I got the sense from some of his posts that he was losing confidence in the position he had taken. I was just trying to show him some support. A sort of virtual arm around his shoulders half-hug kind of thing. Was this wrong?

I would try to hang with the MILFs. Has to be better than the scene at my office.

Staying home is hard work. my kids kick my hubby's ass every.single.day.

camp/football/soccer/homework/baby [toddler] food/cooking/laundry repeat. I mean mix up the sports throw in some lessons or acting lessons but man it is hard work and grueling the patience he has.

The kids are sweet and doing well. I sacrifice every day to do it.

I think we need a little more guidance here. What do you want, and not want?

When I bought my car, I was looking for a convertible with a real back seat (for the kid) that got solid reviews from Consumer Reports and similar sources. That narrowed me down really quickly (to the BMW 325 and a Mercedes that was too expensive). But I don't know how you got from a Grand Cherokee to the stuff on your list.
