I think this raises an excellent point. There are always going to be certain jobs that will always require a college education (being an engineer, doctor, or lawyer, etc.). However, there are some fields that don't necessarily require a ton of knowledge or education so much as a way of thinking. That's not to say…

Yes! A lot of kids fail to realize experience matters as well. After graduating non-working/interning peers often had a false sense of entitlement since they had degrees they should be able to obtain a job like that...nope. Eventually yes but not as rapid as if you had prior experience within your field. Starting as…

This I agree with. I did not finish college because it was just too expensive and I have worked my way into a high paying job. I have several more rungs I could reach before I begin to worry about not having a BA (if I need to worry at all).

I've gone through this situation (on both ends) so much over the last two years. Either someone has taken advantage of the friendship, grown apart, or I've done one of those two. Luckily, I'm that guy that always wants to talk it out and figure out the problem, regardless of if it's solvable — just tell me what's up!

Haha, I'm also a newbie, I'm not too sure myself.

Yeah, it certainly doesn't LOOK like it's supported by anything until you check out their site and see more images, which I think is one of the appeals of the design, myself.

And this ties in nicely with the Amazon Prime benefits article from the other day :)

Study shows that lack of sleep makes people short tempered. Every parent, and the overwhelming majority of non-parents, in the world lets out a collective "duh."

If you're anything like me, you'll find that when your income does jump up, you'll still carry on living like a pauper because you've learned out of necessity how to get by without spending too much money.

It really is the truth. Even full-time SAHMs don't raise their children entirely themselves. They have classes for them and play groups for them and sitter shares. I grew up with a SAHM until I was 8. My grandma would watch us quite often or the two of them would go out and bring us. My mom put us in summer camps…

It's always working mothers who aren't raising their own children, isn't it? No one ever talks to the Don Drapers of the world and is like "well, it's a trade-off. You trust someone else to raise your kids."

If you are so unsure of your abilities as a parent that you worry someone's outside influence is going to override yours, then that is something you need to address.

Based on my personal experiences, that definitely seems to be true. My mom couldn't afford college right out of high school, so she worked and got married instead. She ended up going to nursing school in her early 30s, when my sister and I were probably 8 and 10, while working full time as a paralegal during the day…

on my last maternity leave I developed such severe post partum depression..I felt such disconnect from everything and everyone..being back at work and both kids in full time pre school/day care is THE BEST thing for my family..my kids have structure and socialization all day and I have my job which is actually pretty…

"Help"?

Mississippi 1957 called - it wants it's terminology back.

FWIW: One consistent research finding regarding the development and outcomes of children with working mothers is that they have less stereotyped ideas about and less rigidity towards gender roles.

Excellent point on the socializing. My son is probably going to be an only child. So far, he is proving to be a very social little guy. Daycare provides ample opportunities for him to interact with kids his own age and adults.

Exactly.

Excuse me? No one else is raising my kid but myself and my husband. Just because a child goes to daycare does not mean the parents do not raise the child. Where are you getting this ridiculous idea? We are the ones still responsible for educating, feeding, clothing, and teaching my child.

I have a 6 month old, and I work full time. I could quit to stay home, but it's HIGHLY unlikely I would ever find a job like my current one again. Quitting at this point would be career suicide. So here I am. Not that I really mind. I do love my job and I firmly believe that being a working mom will make me a better…
