Working Moms vs. Stay-At-Home Moms

KrabbyPatty @KrabbyPatty (64) • United States 4 Jan 07

busymomof3 I've been on both sides of the fence too and as mentally and physically exhausting as being an at-home mom is, and as much as I would like to "escape" and make some money (and friends), I would hate to give up my freedom and my time with my family. It's a...

busymomof3 Yikes! I guess I'll be the party pooper and say I think it's terribly disgusting and not an admirable choice of profession or exactly a "healthy" way to make a living. But to each his own.

kenoro @kenoro (327) • Netherlands 22 Dec 06

How, in your own words, can you classify beauty. What in essence makes up the principles of beauty both mentally and physically? Maybe some questions that will help you understand what type of discussion I want to provoke: -...

busymomof3 No matter how physically attractive you are, if you are rotten in your values, morals, personal judgements, etc., you can be a very unappealing person. I certainly hope that for what I lack in physical beauty, I can make up for with my mind and...

busymomof3 Ah yes - I felt like I wasn't pumping enough too. I asked my midwife, and she assured me that you just don't get as much from a pump. You're just not stimulated the same way. I'm still nursing my daughter (17 months) and there are times when I can just look at...
