Why do people  have kids and not bother to raise them?  It don't undestand it.  I have three kids, I married well and responsibly so I could be a SAHM.  I homeschool, my kids are well socialized and I enjoy my children while teaching them.  What I don't understand is how someone gives birth to a baby, puts him in a daycare all day, then school all day, and it's "normal".  When the kids are on break, they can't wait until their children go back to school.  If you only  have evenings and weekends for your kids, why not get a dog instead?  I understand that parenting is hard, but there are little lives counting on you and need more time then you are willing to give.  Nobody ever gets older and says, "I wish I had spent more time when my kids were younger at work/ college classes/ dating."

Some people have said that since my DH only sees our kids nights and weekends he is a bad dad.  I never said that both the mom AND dad should be with the kids all the time. Of course someone has to work, but someone should be raising the kids (teaching them, playing with them, explaining things to them, and helping them).

Yes, I know there are single moms, but the majority of moms work because they want the "extras".  They could stay at home, but don't want to.  If that's the case, have your career and skip having the kid you dump in daycare.

And I haven't responded to post all day because I was with my kids doing schoolwork!

Your bashing people putting their children in school? Where did you get your education?

Just because someone works doesn't mean they don't raise their kids or are irresponsible.

Don't be stupid now.

Sorry we can't all he like you. I don't know about everyone else's kids, but my son really likes having a roof over his head and food in his belly, so yeah he goes to school and daycare. And the reason I can't wait for him to go back to school in the summer is that it costs $150 a week for daycare rather than the $50 after school cost.

I go to school and my oldest is in daycare, my family also takes him and my youngest usually once a week for a night.

Shame on me for having a family who wants to see them, especially when its their great grandparents who are thrilled that they even got to see themselves become greatgrandparents. lol
