re: Government funding to support SAH

Pediatric nurse.

Quoting Saffy Sly:" I have no complaints with mine. He helps with the kids and the housework and doesn't complain."

Same here.
But then, if he wasn't this way, I wouldn't have copulated with him in the first place.

This is what Id like to see. 6 months a year at most.

Word.
I had to train him up a bit but he's a good boy. I even give him belly rubs.

And by belly rubs, I mean sex.

Quoting Safka9973:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Saffy Sly:</b>" I don't either. I tend to fall more in line ... [snip!] ... my providers, and I worried constantly about their ability to instill in my children the values I desire for my kids to learn."

My mother has had a full time job for all of my life. For the majority of my upbringing, she worked from 7am to 8pm (FT and PT jobs). Magically, she was still able to raise me, instill values in me and bring me up to be a well rounded adult. Imagine that.

What is the salary for a pediatric nurse out there? They usually make 70k out the gate, maybe a little less.

Truth. A little sexing and I'm able to wiggle out of some of the smurf I didn't want to do. Namely clean the bathrooms.

I honestly have no idea how much she makes. Not really something we discuss.

Quoting Safka9973:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Back to Noob Status:</b>" And for the record, my mom is a college-educated ... [snip!] ... all the responses on here. You all have made excellent points. But I do not think the that Americas way is the right way."

It isnt the governments problem. It should be up to the parent to wait to have children until they are able to support them and stay home with them if that is what they choose.

The problem with america is the majority of people who feel like they are owed so much from the government.

Quoting ¡Haute!:" Truth. A little sexing and I'm able to wiggle out of some of the smurf I didn't want to do. Namely clean the bathrooms."

I get out of getting up with the kids at 5 or 6am if I sex him before bed. It's a good deal.

Wawawawawait. So you're telling me.. that there is still time out of the day apart from working, sleeping, eating and smurffing to spend with my family??

I thought I was covered though.. you know, what with spending the tender years home with my kids. Apparently those few first years were all that was needed to instill a lifetime's worth of morals and convictions in them. Past age 5 and they don't need any more raising. This is what I was told.

Quoting Safka9973:" <blockquote><b>Quoting James Mama:</b>" They must be cheating the system! I am a nurse ... [snip!] ... qualify for any government assistance at all. What kind of nurse is she? I call BS"</blockquote> Pediatric nurse."

Do nurses get paid minimum wage there? Because I do not understand how she would qualify for government assistance on a nurses salary.

You don't have to discuss it to know the average salary for a pedi nurse lol. I just looked it up. PNs make between 77k to 94k a year, on average. Also depending on their place of work.

Its really unbelievable! I mean, wow. With daycare and my school teachers raising me and all.

My parents both typically worked full time. I didn't get my current set of morals/values from them but I did have the usual Christian values taught to me as a child.
