I did not watch the entire episode of Anderson Cooper, so I do not know how the issue was resolved, I saw the clips above on a friend of mine's blog. I actually waited a couple of days before posting because I was fuming! I figured that it would be best to post after I had had a chance to calm down. :)<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by!Megan Cardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077834436760275006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-856734826187865715.post-60961526974484398472012-01-18T18:19:23.755-06:002012-01-18T18:19:23.755-06:00Maybe I'm just too old to care what other peop...Maybe I'm just too old to care what other people like this say. Someone ignorant stating their opinion as if its a fact does not give it merit. Of course I stopped watching shows like this because I found this kind of inane spouting to just irritate me, so IF I had watched it, I'd probably be saying, "What a moron!!!" I just don't care enough to react anymore, I guess. <br /><br />That being said, I think lazy is a relative term. I am a VERY lazy person when it comes to anything I'm not passionate about. I will always choose to take the lazy route if I can... BUT, I accomplish a lot more than a lot of people because I don't waste my time with busy work that isn't going to result in much. My hosue isn't the cleanest, but I've managed to homeschool my kids for the last 16 years (my oldest is twenty and graduated a couple of years ago, my youngest is 11). I've written, directed, acted and produced several plays for our local community theater. I taught fitness classes 3-5 days a week for four years (sometimes as many as 7 a week). <br /><br />So, eh, I think of myself as lazy because that's my base nature. But you get me excited or passionate about something, and I can accomplish seemingly impossible things.<br /><br />Anyway, I was just coming her to leave a little intro type comment, but instead I left a novella. I like to write, and talk, what can I say??:)byn alwayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13989620867093855329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-856734826187865715.post-80234591513454252852012-01-18T18:09:18.266-06:002012-01-18T18:09:18.266-06:00Ugh.

I would love to hear what Dr. Laura thinks about the video!

I must say, being at home with them have proven to be much more difficult than when I was working. My husband and I have sacrificed a lot for me to be able to stay at home because we felt that it was necessary for our family. <br /><br />I think that it is a choice that each individual family makes and that others should support regardless. After all, we are not always aware of the specific reasons or circumstances behind each decision. <br /><br />Thank you for your input!Megan Cardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077834436760275006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-856734826187865715.post-40818207625874100162012-01-18T15:35:08.365-06:002012-01-18T15:35:08.365-06:00This video gripes me.

Sending them to daycare means someone else is raising them.<br /><br />I have been a stay at home mom, a work outside the home mom, and a work at home mom. Kids need their mom, or dad, home. PERIOD. I realize this can't always happen. I fully support women who choose to stay at home. I think it's the harder choice and anyone who says moms who stay at home are lazy hasn't been a good stay at home mom.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550191749393847572noreply@blogger.com
