Thanks Joe, you got that right. Bitter people not happy with themselves or others need to step up to the plate and fix their situation. Not all of us sit around all day complaining about how our life is; we do something about it.

Comments like this one and many others I have seen on pf blogs recently have shown me there are A LOT of bitter people out there. What fluffy and other disgruntled people need to realize is that they have much more control over their lives than they feel they have. If you find yourself in a bitter part of life, most likely it’s because of choices you made or didn’t make in the past that put you on that road.

I completely agree with this. After watching my friend raise her kid, they deserve all the money in the world. It’s a job that’s never ending BUT it’s defintely rewarding

When I was growing up, both my parents worked. They couldn’t afford to outsource, so they just left things undone. I did my homework myself. No one cooked. We ate junk food. My mother did keep the house clean and do the laundry, though. When the two of them got home, they plopped themselves in front of the TV, and that was that. Stay at home mothers who do all the things they should be doing (not watching Oprah and gabbing on the phone) are worth a lot. However, a lot of them do not do the things worth the numbers mentioned in the study; and a lot of the couples who do work leave things undone too — so they have no extra points coming. I tip my hat to all those who do put dinner on the table and help the kids with their homework — whether they work or not — because I never got that.

I go to parent-teacher conferences. I help my son with his homework. Sports too. And I manage to do all this while working 70+ hours per week.

Volunteering at the library? That’s good for her, certainly a good cause. But entirely optional – it’s not a responsibility that goes with being a SAHM.

Off-topic – what kind of industry did you work in? It might be time for a career change for me.
