Umm... wow. I didn't think I'd offended you - you certainly didn'toffend me in the slightest!! <big hugs> :) I'm proud of her too;
it's not easy trucking a three year old to an event 250 miles away,
not to mention how hard the rest of it is sometimes!
I was just trying to point out how different the reactions can be.
Children need their parents; a lot of people don't understand that,
like the person you mentioned that criticized you. That's not
right; sometimes I think people like that don't have children and
that's why they don't understand.
Sure, I *could* work... but any money I made would go straight into
daycare. The wage around here is low, and the cost of daycare is
horrendous; it works out to no income for the other bills and time
spent away from my kids. Since my family isn't any worse off for my
not working, I choose to stay home with the kids.
I'm proud of you too, especially for being courageous enough to not
let those nasty people get you down. :) <big hugs again>
