Anyone know a good divorce lawyer?

I think that it is wonderful that some of you know that you are not the “parenting type” and won’t be having children.

I understand that everyone has a different definition of a good parent. But the day we found out we were pregnant was the day that I put “ME” on the back burner. I quit my job and became mom. I will return to work one day…maybe part-time. But until my children are out of my house my “career” is to raise kind, considerate and healthy children. Am I bored, who has time with 2 kids?

My personal opinion, which I know will not set well with this board is…I think that most people who work full-time when they have children are selfish. God-forbid you have to change your lifestyle or can’t do what you want..why did you have kids? And for the excuse that you are bored, introduce your children to your passion (art, literature, sports, fishing, ceramics, flowers, whatever it maybe). The most important gift that you can give your child is your TIME.

Once again it’s only an opinion and I understand that there are some different situations.

Back to my Leave it to Beaver World. I need to get all dolled up, the kids cleaned up, house picked up, and a homemade dinner on the table so that when my husband gets home he knows how appreciative I am of him.

Reading back on my comments I realized that I may have come across as anti-kid, which is about as far from the truth as can be. I have three kids of my own from my first marriage, and I married a women (a saint, really) who had 2 kids of her own. After a fashion we were the Brady Bunch.

One of my main criteria when I chose my current mate was being a good parent because that was very much part of my identity at the time. If raising one kid is difficult, raising kids in a blended family takes that difficulty to a whole different level.

But I very much am who I am today in part because of my kids. Today, they all still live in SD County and a couple of them are still at home (students). Someone mentioned earlier that the heavy committment lasts for 2 decades; but really, there is no end to it. Once you’re a parent, you’re never really “free” of it. There’s only variations of involvement, depending on how well you’ve built your relationships.

As for the three? You can blame my ex for that – I do.

waiting – that was a very nice post. I agree that people who make the decision to have children need to devote a considerable amount of time to them. It is a very selfless act. I do think once the kids are in school, perhaps if a woman is restless, then a part-time job can be checked into or maybe some work-out-of-the-home job. There are so many ways to get around things nowadays.

My girlfriend is a single mom and I don’t know how she does it. Sacrifices do get made and she is single b/c her personal life is what she’s given up. She’s very smart and cute (cross between Shakira and Sarah Jessica Parker) but between work, her son and daily chores, no time for anything else. She is far from bored. My hat off to her. She has a full life w/friends, but no time for men. She’s very happy and positive person.

OMG did you just say Sara Jessica Parker is cute? For the love of all that is pure and holy, in what way would you think she’s cute? She’s like a cross between a horse, a frog, and the wicked witch of the west… If it were’t for daddy she would never ever ever have had an acting career.

Shakira I’ll agree with (before she felt the need to bleach blonde of course).

Also, since I’m on a rant, it is hideous when women have those huge, pouty, unnatural looking lips. Just ‘cuz AJ has ’em doesn’t mean you need to. Those are just awful (there’s a woman who is a slutty doctor on a show called…. hm… I don’t know but it’s a show where she’s chasing this guy she calls “Dr. Dreamy” and she has those botox lips).

Remember those flavored wax candy lips from your childhood? They stand out just as much and look as natural.

Thanks, I’m done ranting.
