it's weird this thread was so innocent sort of like a storm that's supposed to be nothing & ends up dumping 3ft of snow, i looked at it once and really didn't take interest he he he he ...
i got to pg 5 and realized what champ was talking about holy fuck ,the man asks for advice and it turns into a fight the people who have no children should just shut the f up you haven't a clue till one day you have to deal with the emotional ride that is the up bringing of your own children ....
my argument had absolutely nothing to do with bringing up children. and I didn't care what advice he was asking for. I did not like his way of thinking about the problem, and wanted to make him aware of what he was saying. period.
and frankly, I don't care what all of you think. when see something like this, I *WILL* say something. Honestly this is not the first time AC has sounded like a beer commercial.

you are mixing threads, not allowing someone to state their own opinion without taking offense yourself and quite frankly THAT IS A SEXIST STATEMENT!
a man that sounds like a beer commercial.
oh my god, I can't believe how sexist that statement is...I don't even KNOW where to start!!!

The reaction against GreenTeaDisease here is just not right. She thought something was wrong so she responded to it. And I think she had a valid point. All of these moronic responses to her (the ones that don't actually argue her point, just mock her) are 100 times worse than anything she said.
Cool down people. For fuck's sake, she was just defending her views.
It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win

actually - she started in on the thread with a prejudged notion of "who" Acoustic Guy "is" and she basically changed the direction of a thread where he was asking for opinions/suggestions about child care - and turned it into a thread where he (and others) were defending his stance on sexism, and his family.
so...yeah, not sure about the whole reaction against GTD...but my opinion is basically if you can't handle it when people call you on posting discrepancies, you prolly shouldn't carry thread baggage to highlight other's "faults"
but like I said, that is just my own opinion...and as such it aint worth a hot dick in July.

People respond to others based on prior dealings on these boards, not just based on what is said in the current thread.

Well I can see how that would make people angry towards her I guess. I just think that the mocking of her was uncalled for because she was just trying to speak out against something she thought was wrong.

I said it b4 and I will say it again - it is like a male gyno telling a woman "labor is nothing"
I NEVER attack anyone on this board. But when a guy posts something about his child and is asking for help b/c he is concerned about her well being, and describes himself as "Mr. Mom" (which is a wonderful statement - far from sexist) and desires to be the "man of the house" - which means he would PREFER to provide for his family - the LAST thing he should be is attacked. It is truly a case of the pot calling the kettle black and sometimes people need to see themselves for who they are. Calling him a sexist is far more demeaning than anything that was said in response to her statements. Especially being that she has never walked a mile in his shoes. It's just outright judgmental and wrong. Send it in a PM if there is really an issue.
I admire you for you coming to her defense, but her view on sexism didn't belong here. If you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all. It's ridiculous that it has gone this far.
you can't be serious. I think you should not respond to threads dealing with children.
I still do not understand why everyone is saying "stay out of threads about children," "stay out of stuff about parenting." When did I even say ANYTHING about parenting??? I wasn't even addressing that. The title of this thread is "I'm in a bind." I was curious what the bind was. I open it, and you know what it doesn't matter what the bind was because the statements in the post are so obviously unacceptable. THAT is what I responded to.
And aside from that, I will respond to any threads I wish.

another kind statement, and judgemental to say the least.
you told someone to go look at a post about therapy b/c he was concerned about the well being of his child.
and you made comments how you were a child care provider - and a child won't wither in the care of a stranger. or did someone sabotage your post and write that? you were commenting on parenting and child care. no one here would see that any different.
okay so some of you know I own business. Well its seasonal from April through October. The rest of the year i take care of my daughter b/c my wife works full time. Its hard being Mr. mom everyday as the man of the house. It can be hard accepting that roll but its for my daughter so its gotta be done.
So I have been looking for a full time job year around also. Now I have a chance to take pretty good job but I don't have anybody to watch my daughter. she is almost 2 and I am worried about taking her to daycare. I'm worried she will freak out when I leave her all alone. I can't imigine her being a alone and crying.
What to do??????
getting back on TOPIC:
i think you already know: take the job. as many have mnetioned, research, research and research daycare options! then, enroll her in the daycare or preschool that seems the best fit. children ARE extremely adaptable. you have given her 2 whole years at home, and that's wonderful. if you feel it's the right time to reenter the workforce full-time, go for it, sans guilt. she WILL thrive, adapt socially, learn, make friends...and still have at-home time with mommy and daddy. as a former educator, i can safely say if you put in the time to find a school that's a good fit, your daughter will thrive. good luck. it's not an easy decision, but you know when it's right for your family.
Holy crap! This thread is like 10 pages long and I can't read through all the advice you already received so here's my $.02:
Are you guys losing the house or filing for bankrupcy? Is it really necessary that you take this full time job? Couldn't you just budget a little better? I honestly feel that children are better off when taken care of by a parent, not daycare. She's only 2 and she won't be this little forever. She'll be in school in 3 years. Couldn't you and the wife work opposite shifts if both of you have to work?
My husband is a stay at home dad. I work 6 days a week. Sometimes I'm resentful, especially when the house is a fucking mess when I get home from work, but I know this is better for the kids than sending them off to some stranger to raise them.
holy shit people. the man is looking for ideas on how to solve his problem and 12 pages get wasted on bullshit bitching and finger pointing. lame.
look AG, you've got to find work for yourself that gives you purpose in your life but doesn't fuck with the balance of your family. i will say that millions and millions of kids are dropped off everyday to daycare while their parents go to work. it's great that your wife works and provides for the family. with you finding a better job and making more money, it will help decrease the financial burden for both of you. just be smart with your money and don't get overextended. your child should adjust fine. down the road, if your wife wants to quit her job and it's a viable option financially, then great. if you don't feel fulfilled and want to scale back down to a 6 month work schedule, then do that. just do whatever you feel helps lead your family in the best direction it needs to go. change is a motherfucker but it sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders.
i don't know if this has been covered. i fell asleep 6 times through the first 8 pages of this thread.
