ParticipantI have dated some including divoricees with kids and if it were not for fate might have embedded myself in with such a person. I remember you ,Allan from Fallbrook and me talking about what a reminder Marion’s first posts were to be grateful for our current situations.No offense or
one-upsmanship Marion, just meaning about this episode of your life and maybe your ex- husbands too. I am not making light of anyones pain or struggles or how they handle them.ParticipantI have dated some including divoricees with kids and if it were not for fate might have embedded myself in with such a person.

You don’t seem anti- kid to me but I Thought the idea of a partner ,especially a parental partner cheating was less of a stressor than having a kid was different from my imagination woudl have it. At least a kid is a mixed blessing, more to the positive obviously(to me). I would think that uneless it was kind of an open “marriage deal”,(which wouldn’t imply cheating) the other activity is liekle to be a longer lasting major disruption for a family that had high hopes for unity.

ParticipantI don’t think you were demeaning being a stay at home parent, although I think some posters do. I fully agree with you that more important than a house, take time with the kids. It doesn’t always mean doing something actively with them. Just being around them has it rewards too for both the parent and child.
My two boys just spent the whole day together. They spend everyday together. If they were in child care not only would they not be with a parent, in this case the father. They wouldn’t have even been together in many types of child care. BTW in today’s age cooking and cleaning are the smallest part of being at home with kids. For example we don’t milk cows and churn butter or drag them down to the river to wash clothes. My wife and I pretty much share all loads except she does 75% of the cooking and I do 100% of outdoor and repair stuff. We both work part time out of the house and part time in. It is very hard to be this flexible especially since we both have the desire to participate in a more unrestricted fashion in work or leisure and these schedules make that really hard but it is only for a few more years when the guys re all in school. I agree with those who say the rewards are greater than the sacrifices.
No interests in doing carbon footprint analysis on a per child basis. What is the level of destruction that has occured to life, other than, human here so far anyway that is completely un related to carbon gases? I think it is pretty severe. Nature will rule the day and put this place back in her perspective. It isn’t like it was a great place before the greenhouse gas level got up. For the most part we have been trying to dominate oppress and kill each other anyway. I don’t see a catastrophic event imposed by nature as any worse. Alternate scenario we humans evolve as extraterrestrials via science and technology. Maybe the future holds a little bit of multiple scenarios.
Mom is home! She brought boy three home from school and some strawberries from the fruit stand. It’s a beautiful day. I think I’ll fill-up the kiddie pool and watch them laugh and play.
I have just been informed we are having a “celebrating party!” a “real celebrating party!” The funny and wonderful thing is that there is no occasion.
