My wife is a working Mom, and while we did talk about how to handle daycare and whether her staying at home would be an option, we ultimately decided together that her working, difficult or not, would benefit our family b/c the financial strain would be too great without a dual income. We based our marriage, our plans, and our home purchase on the both of us working, and while things change, we stuck to this. I can only hope that should we decide to have another child sometime later on, that my wife doesn't have friends like you. You are entitled to feel how you feel, just as anyone else, but to think you'd just toss a friendship out like that makes me weary.Joshuanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003017734350156286.post-92223627159075105652009-05-24T23:09:52.459-04:002009-05-24T23:09:52.459-04:00I am a full-time working mom with a son in daycare...I am a full-time working mom with a son in daycare and I didn't have any issue with her post at all. I know how hard it is to find daycare and I am thankful we were able to secure a spot in a loving home-based one. While I was not as pained to have my son in someone else'se care as Jenny was, I respect that she and her husband have structured their lives so that everyone is happy. <br /><br /> We are all allowed to have our own opinions and she clearly stated that it really is about choice. But I know exactly what she's talking about, watching a friend not being fully honest with the choices she's made. <br /><br />If you're truly appalled, there are many other places on the internet to troll.monahttp://www.kirida.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003017734350156286.post-38563204275603464272009-05-24T22:56:15.696-04:002009-05-24T22:56:15.696-04:00Thanks for sharing your opinions.

I am appalled at your blog. It sounds like your friend is doing the best she can in these tough economic times. As far as putting her in daycare early while she had not yet found a job, I know several women who have done this--hellooo good day care providers go fast and if you don't snatch them up a spot will be taken like that... but then again maybe you wouldn't know as your such a greaaat stay at home mom who appears to have so much time to bitch and complain about her frineds on blog spots. I agree with the two other posts however I don't agree that you should beg for forgivness as your ex friend is better off without a hypocrit such as yourself.Austinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003017734350156286.post-33420275798710716462009-05-24T15:54:28.977-04:002009-05-24T15:54:28.977-04:00I, too, have a friend who just announced her secon...I, too, have a friend who just announced her second pregnancy. And my first reaction was concern and surprise, as well. But, I don't judge my friends based on the hardships they face in their lives, or what they might have to do to overcome them. People make choices everyday, and hopefully we make the right ones. Sometimes we do, and sometimes we don't. Maybe your friend's choice to work instead of stay at home is something she and her husband have thought long and hard about. Maybe she's supporting her husband's goal of owning his own business. Isn't marriage about compromise? Maybe she's working to provide health insurance for her family so that they don't have to depend on government assistance. It's all within the realm of possiblity. After all, who is actually living the dreams they had when the graduated from high school? Our lives change everday. All I know is that her choice to have another child is fulfilling her dream of having a family. And who am I to stand in judgement of her decision. As a friend, I can state my opinion and then stand by her. Because if I can dispose of my closest friends because they've made a choice I don't agree with, it won't be long before I'm without friends entirely. Just a thought.Kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003017734350156286.post-66944652373654248812009-05-17T22:23:00.000-04:002009-05-17T22:23:00.000-04:00I'm sorry Jenny that you lost your friend, but at ...I'm sorry Jenny that you lost your friend, but at the same time I'm proud of you for knowing to get out of something that isn't good. <br /><br />It sucks having to watch someone compromise on their dreams and then pretend it's what they wanted. <br /><br />Sending some love and a big hug back to you and the Fam.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13096386157619614193noreply@blogger.com
