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.

Here’s my take…

Kids don’t give a rats ass!!! I have a 3 and 5 year old and we sold our house in 2006 and have rented in three different houses since. We could go pay cash today for a house, BMW, RV, and all of the other “status” symbols of wealth. But is that going to make my children more intelligent, kind, considerate? Will it make them more successful? Heck no! The fact that I will be able to stay home with my chidren and my husband and I are active participants in their lives is so much more important in their future. We are renting because it makes financial sense to do so.

A house is just four walls and a roof…a family makes a home!

And to Marion….you are right I don’t get it!
“That is why when women start having children, the majority of them insist their husbands purchase a home. When there are children to think of, they no longer want to rent unless they absolutely have to”

And this would probably be why the divorce rate is so high…pay less attention to your material things and more to your family.

MR,

My husband and I went to look at Talega in 2004 and fell in love with the development (trails, pool, clubhouse, family feel). Of course we couldn’t afford the million dollar price tag then! Having lived there, what is the actual community of San Clemente like? I have read on other blogs that the area West of the 5 is not the greatest place to be.

Do you mind if I pick your brain about San Clemente? I am torn between South Carlsbad and San Clemente. My husband works from home but with some travel to San Diego and Irvine.

Thanks!
