Mom's need to stick together - and we need to know our finances - just be better with them than me - ha ha!SueBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12918673083218990077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-311385681309455380.post-71642526771667166222009-03-22T21:22:00.000-05:002009-03-22T21:22:00.000-05:00Hi y'all!I felt a little let down.

Nap implies that the women who give up working to take care of their children, are not all there, not awake, not <I>present</I>. Even though I didn't make the same choice, I kinda resent that implication. Because it goes back to not supporting other women, regardless of the choice they make. Now, I'm not saying that we should support women in <I>whatever</I> choices they make. Sometimes tough love is required. But when it's motherhood, why can't we put aside the animosity to provide a life-line to each other? *sigh*dreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07626890852816096916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-311385681309455380.post-914234598932054572009-03-21T15:59:00.000-05:002009-03-21T15:59:00.000-05:00I almost did hurl it across the room.

He said that everytime he tried to dicuss finances with her, her eyes glazed over and she said, oh you handle that. That strikes me as really irresponsible!!Lenore Appelhanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664671644163369772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-311385681309455380.post-12775331433587648852009-03-21T11:38:00.000-05:002009-03-21T11:38:00.000-05:00Props for you, drey, for reading this - I probably...Props for you, drey, for reading this - I probably would have hurled it across the room.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-311385681309455380.post-31910411190335396702009-03-21T11:34:00.000-05:002009-03-21T11:34:00.000-05:00Great review.

I truthfully don't understand it. <BR/><BR/>DottieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
