[quote=UCGal][quote=CA renter]
You like to blithely ignore that 40 hours/week (and it’s more in many households) when the wage-earning parents are NOT doing these duties. And these are the hours when much of the work is being done.
And we’re not talking about what you personally pay for help, or what you do for your family — and we’re NOT talking about my family either, as I’m speaking in general terms — which makes your snarky comment not only rude and unproductive, but entirely unjustified.
I will link to some research so that you can better understand the concept I’m trying to get across.[/quote]
I was not trying to be snarky. Snarky implies mean spirited sarcasm. I was trying to make logical arguments – but clearly our points of view are divergent to the point that even though I agreed with many of your points – but disputed some specific ones, you can’t understand my point.
I’m disengaging because I really like you and don’t want to continue an argument that we apparently can’t find common ground on. I wish you much happiness and peace. I’m sorry it went down this way and in the future I’ll try to stay out of arguments with you.[/quote]

Here- maybe this will make you feel better.
CAR – you are a wonderful parent, wife, homemaker, and you are worth billions of dollars to your family!!!! Far more than any other mother anywhere.[/quote]
…snarky, and totally uncalled for, as I’ve never attacked you personally (and I’ve never implied, in any way, what you’ve stated there).
