# my boyfriend said to me this morning
'we are going to have three kids, and you are going to stay home and look after them'

Arrrgh!
So good luck to Trellis, I hope you have fun with the baybe :)

# Yep

# I wouldn't stand for that.
I'm not going to be a stay-at-home-mum, I'll work for a living like mine did, and show my kids the value of a hard day's work and of money. If I could ever afford to sit around on my arse watching Bargain Hunt whilst precious Tarquin learns Swahili on his Fisher Price whatever I still don't think I would. Bit too much respect for myself, you know? Having a kid doesn't mean my life's over.

Or at least, that's how I see it. Plus it's much more likely that the manwife will be the one at home.

# totally
although i think he was joking ;)

all the same, I'd want a career over kids

# I'm not really career driven as such
I just know that if I stay here all day with wee ones I'll go stir crazy. The first year or so, maybe, but after that it's a bloody team effort between me and the wife whether he likes it or not.

# /END RANT
I never had you as a stay at home mum. I always thought of you as an in the garden or up at tree mum.

# In a perfect world only one person would need to work
and the other would be able to spend all day bringing up children (which is really the most important job) but it's unlikely that this will be possible unless you've got crazy money.

I guess in the end we all do the best we can with what we have.

# I'm of the firm belief
that nursery is great for kids- they learn how to be around their peers BEFORE they get to schooling age. I'll definitely be sending mine, if only so they can get used to a larger social circle than I can provide for them.

That's when I'll go back to work.

# I know I'll get a torrent of replies but I think only one needs to
IT's just people have forgotten to spend their money. I think that the more that two people work the more they spend on 'saving time'.
