Do you expect all people to work their jobs 24/7, or just mothers? :dubious:

Again, boo-hoo. What do you expect in return for being a parent? Paid vacations? If they’ve fallen on hard times, scraping by and burning all their money maintaining a lifestyle they can’t afford, it’s a good option to have. Besides of course she at least has the support of her husband to catch a break once in a while. I understand that small children are a lot of work sometimes but if you can’t afford to take a time off from being a parent, suck it up. Daycare is a luxury.

I’ll never vote for you!!!

Anyways, this thread warms my heart. It’s like the opening song for “Cheers”, but with more bloodletting. 🙂
