MSUE Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Posted before she died? Look at the date. I was not close to her so I'm not sure exactly when she departed.....' yeap...you are absolutely right...can't believe I didn't look at the date that a bit moronic on my end...I must admit it was very very eerie to see...she passed about a week ago or so
Chrome Barracuda Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 I think it is. I didn't grow up with much either and was raised on a farm but times were different then. You have to be financially prepared to have a child it's only fair to the child. Too many people are having kids without thinking about the financial responsibility involved. Raised on a farm? sounds awesome! and I know raising a baby is no joke!!! It take a boatload of money to support a kid when you add it all up, maybe this current generation doesnt think so. IDK.
allina Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 I'm not a kid person, I'm not sure if I ever will have children. When I tell my mom about how I think kids are impossible and horribly annoying she cracks up and says they're fun and easy. She was one of those women who never got beaten down by motherhood, she was never worn down. I don't know if it's because she only had one child, stayed in amazing shape or because my father is a great husband to her and an amazing father to me but it seems like it was easy on her. I haven't seen the Oprah show. But it sounds like what these women are saying is what I fear. That if I have a child I will regret it, that I won't be able to be all in.
tinktronik Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 I don't know. I as a mother of three boys who all were very, very active children and all born within about a year of each other may skip a day without a bath and then everybody gets the hose during the next day an a bath that evening. It is very, very hard sometimes. Sometimes it is so hard and you are incredibly overwhelmed. It's the hardest, most frustrating, challenging thing you will ever do for some. It is also for others wonderful, enjoyable and rewarding. I know I have shut myself in the bathroom on a particularly rough PMS day and cried for five min or so just from being overwhelmed. BUT I would never not bathe my kids for 3 weeks, nor do I regret having them or anything like that. However, I do know other parents that are way, way busier than me. I know for a fact that I have one friend who just goes and goes and goes and only bathes her kids 2X per week if they are lucky. They have a pool and she will sometimes have them all jump in the pool and then they all dash for clothes as they run for the door to another appointment. I can understand how someone could forget to bathe the kids for 3 weeks if they are 1, a working mother. 2, raising their kids alone. 3, have multiple children. 4, at least some of those children are young. 4, very involved in many of the aspects of their children's raising.
sb129 Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Having a bath costs very little in either time or money. Bathtime is part of bedtime routine in most of my friends households. Dinner, play, bath, bed. I will probably do the same thing.
