Oh Cracks

If you have a chance to read Gems response to my last post, I encourage you to go read it. I was posting a comment to her comment, when it got erased. Therefore the title 'Oh Cracks' as that is what C'man says when something like that happens. (oh crap is what it's supposed to say)
I want to thank Gem for taking the risk of posting a comment. Many times it's easier to just let it go. Or sit and stew letting it fester and fester. I'm glad she didn't, for to long. While I feel that being a stay at home mom is where I belong, I realize it's not where every mom, or women, feels the same way. Hence the beauty of freedom of choice.
Where I have a problem, and really it's not even my problem so I don't want to spend much time on it b/c i can't do anything about it, are families that have the boat, 2 homes, lavish vacations, whatever it may be, while both parents are working. Possibly teaching there children you must work hard to have it all. Seems we have to work hard just to get by these days!
I commend Gem in her views. She is right that going to medical school with Government subsidised loans it's only fair to give back. To bad more people didn't' feel that way with any form of gov't monies. I do not feel that all, or even most kids, suffer from parents working. I know there are people that will say they do, I do not feel that way.
Just like it offends people to be told there children our suffering, it offends me to hear that I'm doing my kids an injustice by not working, or they need the social aspect of daycare, you know all those blah blah's that working and SAHM's hear. (BTW Gem i'm not saying you said this)
I do have a college degree myself and feel fortunate enough that I did have a career for 8 years before leaving it. I have hopes that at some point in my life, I will return to a career. (politics ya think??) Gem I think you ARE wonder women. Seriously, look at you cooking from scratch, attending all your children events, woohooo for you. I mean that seriously and not sarcastically. 20 hours/week is great! If i had a chance to do something like that in a career I enjoyed, I'd do it too. I think that is one way you can have the best of both worlds. Am I going back on my stance? I don't think so.... there needs to be more people that feel that way, or could do it.
Now enlighten us and tell us what kind of medical doctor you are??

Anyone else have comments?? What's the point of a blog if I don't get any comments? Go ahead, come out of lurking.....heck comment about my chickens if you want:)

ps can ya tell that if people are offended, mad, hurt, etc by something I say I freak out?? I can't say i'm constantly worried what people may think, feel, etc otherwise I'd never open my mouth, blog, etc (that could be good LOL) but I don't like people to be hurt by something I said without me letting them know I still appreciate them, there thoughts, feelings, etc. I can't just let things go to easily. Somethings I can, but when it comes to friends whether that be via the internet world or IRL, i hate to make them feel bad, mad, etc
