Thanks johnw612! You took the words out of my mouth! Katie's article was an opinion and suggestion. Take it or leave it. She wasn't knocking working parents. Just suggesting to look at all the options, and that staying at home CAN be done with planning. That was ALL. She wasn't trying to insult anyone, just giving an opinion. I guess the "mommy wars" continue!

Wow Snowbunny, thanks for ASSUMING all of us stay at home moms are on welfare! No one here is TELLING anyone to do this or do that. Just opinions. AND Katie wasn't saying anything about single moms. Yes single moms have to work, all she was saying was that if you really buckle down and budget for a few years you don't HAVE to do daycare, and you can provide the best care for your child. And that is in a 2 parent household. She said nothing about single moms.

Before I became a SAHM a year ago, I was SO worried about living on one income...even worse a military income. It has taken awhile to adjust, and we have to go without, what I now consider "frivolous". And we always have a CC for back up for emergencies. So you CAN survive on one income, if you choose to. I didn't think we could do it, but we have. And the rewards are wonderful to be able to stay at home with my daughter, who at 2 1/2 speaks better than alot of full time daycare children. Daycare providers can't be everything to you child like you can. Most of us take off only a few yrs to stay home and go back to the work force. But definately learn a few things about being frugal. BUT what is REALLY sad, is that if you are a SAHM you INSTANTLY get judged for doing so. We are put into a "category" and that is pretty sad. And by the way, we don't stayed holed up in our houses being SAHM's, our children do get "social benefits". Mine even goes to hourly care once a week, I think that is VERY important. But please don't bash us SAHM's for doing so, we hear it ALL the time. And we might just be able to teach you a thing or 2 about being frugal, you'd be amazed the changes you can make to live on one income!
