The majority of mothers work so this overwhelming fear of daycare aside, most children go to daycare. My career is worth it to me. I didn't go to school for 6 years to sit at home and watch the degree brown. I love being with DD but i also love the kids i work with. My position is happy...

My parents gave me about 300 a month Freshman year because I was on dining. Soph-Senior 550 and a CC for incidentals. About 200 of that went to going out. My parents thought it selfish to have me work during school. THEY were VERY against it actually. I worked a bit in the summer but even...

I'm already there. I've cut soda out completely since last June. High protein and only 30 carbs per meal, extra protein lots of green leafy veggies oh and did I mention lots of protein. I cheat a little on the weekends though. I'm still averaging about -1.5 a week. Right now I'm exercising...

I'm not sure i can link it the right way but basically she is only teaching her daughters to be baby producing home makers. There is no other option for women in her eyes. I wonder if her church knows what she is using the money they are giving her, for? Maybe they do and are trying to...

I was on Mag Sulfate too! They told me I would feel like I had the flu for the the few hours after birth. It didn't affect me at all though. The nurses were in shock about my behavior. I pushed for about 1 hour. Daughter didn't cry she just laid there and looked around the room at people. They...

Dawn, and others- have you looked at some of OP'S previous post on boards. Before you jump to defend her i would suggest you do. Maybe why I feel bad for her daughters will make a bit more sense.

These are the things you think about before you have 6 kid though. If you know that you don't like the schools for the first one why wouldn't you move into an area where the district is good or start looking into school choice before you have the next one. My heart goes out to these kids...

[/B] Ahh i see your point. Here is mine: Life happens and sometimes promises are broken, not intentionally but they get broken. If she does everything she promises theses kids are going to enter into a world that is going to disappoint them A LOT. My heart goes out to theses kids I hope...

She stated in a post that it was religious not that he schools were over crowd or crime ridden. Camping is great i'm sure. it's not something we do but i'm sure it is. I'm not judging OP just reading her comments ad using a bit of common sense. She could school choice her kids into a...

So the kids should work and give over the money so they can go on vacation? So because she promised them a trip she has to do it? I think that if her youngest understands that they can't afford donuts then the others will understand why this trip might not happen.

I'm not trying to be snarky, please don't think that. Your post about clothing being worn and...i just think it's a bad idea. I can see from previous post of yours that the reason that you home-school is because you think that's what God wants you to do. God also helps those who help...

Everyone's trying to help. If she said we have money for everything BUT emergencies than I would think the CC a good idea. This is a very sad story. I hope she does the right thing for herself and her family. OP what is your husbands take on this?

^ If so, maybe this realization that she can't afford something she would love to do because she doesn't want the kids to go to Public School will put things into priority. This kills me, if it's true! She would rather have to sell positions and camp in a tent with 6 people rather than send...

OP had to sell gold to pay bills. Suggesting she get a CC IMO is a bad idea and not very good advice.

Books, Giftcard to Gymboree or The Children's Place.

I thought they were really cool.

[/B] YOU ARE SELLING YOUR STUFF TO GO ON A VACATION YOU CANNOT AFFORD OMG seriously think about that. Your kids may be disappointed for not going but how embarrassed/disappointed will they be when you take them to DTD and can't afford to get them anything. It's NOT worth it! They should be...

That's VERY TRUE! I got that! Here is my BIG WHAT THE HECK Disney! WIFI! I'm staying at Hilton Garden in for 109 next week in NY Free WIFI! Why can't I have that at Disney. That's where I think things could change, the penny pinching at the hotel levels. I want fresh linens everyday. YES...

^ Is GAD the Give A Day free ticket? I'm thinking that's what it stands for. Honestly, i would just call it a "lost" though it's really not a lost because you helped someone out for a day. Unless the only reason she did it was for the ticket. I know a lot of people did it for that reason but...

Afford means CASH in hand. That is I bought it, do it whatever, I don't have to reorganize my bills or not pay one. I think the word budget is miss used by many. I consider budget to be setting up a plan of action with your money. When things are being paid, whats coming out of the account...
