Glad you feel better. My mom gets really p__sed off with me if I tell her not to do something with Nadya. She also reminds me that she brought up 3 kids, and we're all fine. I can cope with the little disagreements, but what p__ses me off, is she doesn't just give me the cold shoulder, she does it to Nadya too. Completely ignores her, even though she's just a 2 month old baby, and hasn't done anything wrong. Fortunately, she's too young to care at the moment, but my mom and I are going to fall out, if she does it when she's older.

 

to heidi from stay home - November 18

life insurance, what another croc, gee u know how to waste money and to tc i agree she needs to speak to mil but at the same time unlike heidi she is not fobbing her off, mil has her and that should be appreciated. Is this the same heidi whose baby is 5 and a half weeks old and already in care, if so hats off to you mother of the year. I will leave it there as my time is more well spent giving time to my child than listening to some woman trying to defend herself on how she needs a fancier car and the finer things in life so sticking her baby in care simply rocks apparantly. You said one thing heidi for your child to mix with others, granted, but your reasons unlike other moms are materialistic by what i keep reading from you. Goodbye, good luck and i do hope your child does not suffer from being in care for so many hours but remember she is your one and only and you want to spoil her rotten and to toya those monsters you see on the nanny show are a product of what their parents have produced. Sometimes children turn out that way with parents such as heidi who spoil them rotten, dump them in daycare and think the answer to good parenting is to never tell their child the word no, i would be embarra__sed to have a child like some you see on that show and my child will not be like this however heidi's may.. Good luck heidi and lets hope those fancy toys bring your child a lifetime of happiness, again i will say no more to a woman who has one child, can afford to stay home but just wants the finer things in life. I do understand many people having to return to work, i know this but heidi is one of the elite who merely want the fancy car and the life insurance, farewell

 

Fan of Heidi - November 18

Well, I stay at home and my husband works very hard. We too have life insurance and home insurance etc, including all the bills and savings for education we have set aside. I too think I should be working, but circ_mstances dont allow me. But I most certainly would if I could. I dont think you sound selfish and materialistic, Heidi! I think that wanting the best for your child, is what all us parents want. Sounds like you want more for your kids than just toys and nice things. You want them to have security. To "stay at home", you are being stubborn, and I dont see why you are being so difficult ot understand that what she wants is what anyone should want for their kid. Gosh, daycare ca___lso befun and educational for a kid. Do some research and find one with recommendations! Kids dont turn bad because they are in Daycare and moms shouldn't be considered bad for putting them there! Thank you.

I am an advocate of staying at home with your kids, but that is a personal choice that I have made. Right now, my husband is in school so we are struggling a bit, and if it turns out that I have to work then of course I will! We are surviving just fine though. I have a teaching degree, so I could easily find a job if I had to. I agree with Heidi that health insurance is extremely important and also life insurance. As to giving your child the fine things in life, who wouldn't want to. My question to Stay at Home is what will you do if your child ends up with a life threatening illness and you can't afford to pay the bills. Children do get sick, and some even have major health problems. I would never not have health insurance. Also, its important to have life insurance. Things happen and don't you want your child to be able to have security if you and your husband both died? I sure would. So, Heidi I would say keep up the hard work. To JB, he is your son and I would just tell you MIL that she can't watch him anymore if she doesn't adhere to your wishes. A few weeks ago we were at my in-laws and another couple with a baby was there (5 months old and 26 pounds). The couple was bragging about how they give thier son french fries and ice cream every day! I later said that I do not want Kailey having any french fries until she is at least two becuase they are so bad for people and my MIL was like "well, Kailey I will just have to start sneaking you some french fries". Oh wow, I told her no way. I said that you might be the grandma, but I would appreciate it if you would do things the way I want. She already has given me a hard time for not wanting Kailey to have any formula, so I figured that I would put my foot down. We haven't had a problem since although I am sure I offended her at first. Anyways, I would stand my ground is what I am trying to say or don't let her be alone with her grandchild. That is what I threatened.

Good lord, people get really crazy and judgemental when they have never walked in anothers shoes and they can do it anonymously. To stay at home, mind your own business and get lost, to Heidi and JB, don't feel you have to defend yourselves to losers that obviously spend more time on the computer than playing with the kids they stay home with.
