Carma 48... answering a few days late... what a week. Watched my Bruins ALMOST wrap it up, had my first allergy shots about 2 hrs away, etc. Busy week. But I'm still haunted by that child who was murdered. Your DW is a saint for hanging in there. Many give up the profession after seeing what parents do not do for their children, knowing the onus is on themselves (unjustifiably) to teach them how to live and all for an indecent salary. My dear friend and successful businesswoman once asked me how I could stand to stay home all those years with the babies when "you're so smart, Janice... how is that enough?". I told her that I didn't trust anyone else to do what I could do for them, it was my favorite job ever and I could never justify $300/wk child care to make $400 wk after taxes, gas, clothes, etc. You are so right.. giving birth you do for yourself.... teaching them you do for them. But the heart breaks for all parents who bury their children. Sad.
Give DW a salute for me!

I can't condemn the parents who lose track of where there kids are at every minute, especially after the age of 7.... their shortcoming is not preparing kids to deal with the world outside them.
