?Why do people assume?


It has come to my attention that alot of people think if you are married and/or have kids then you should roll over and die and by that I mean. I (apparently) am suppose to be right with my children 24/7. I recieved several "notices" that I should be taking care of my kids instead of on the computer.

What do you think about this?
Should we roll over and die just because we have kids?
If you don't have children, don't answer

Answers:
I think those people are wrong for assuming this but hey let them talk they don't feed your kids or put clothes on thier back and maybe those people don't have kids and they don't you always need a little break from being a mom. And they're in the computer all day too than they are just jealouse because you have a life w/ your kids and they don't have one and the only thing they can do is type and not have friends.

Other Answers:
I don't have kids, but I'd hate if my parents were with me 24/7

Assume= A$$ out of U & ME if you assume , it makes an a s s out of u and me lol


as long as you're available for an emergency, why not have a little me time?

They probably don't have kids.

You are still alive. That means you should live.

I do not have kids but I felt you could still have my 2 cents.

i agree i have a 3 year old and im married and i have been told that too, we are alive and are allowed to have lives too I think anyone who has kids, should keep to themselves and stay out of my way until the kids are old enough not to be terrible whiny pests.


People need mind their own damn business.!

NEVER ASSUME THEN IT MAKES AN *** out of U and ME
*** u me

Because it is easier than digging out the facts.
Also with the amount of available information which is usually (let's say ALWAYS) incomplete, without assuming anything, we would have nothing to say.
For example, I am assuming that what I write here may make a difference to someone (hopefully positive).
But I don't know!!!

I think somtimes that people say that to some because they seem to be on the computer all day and how could you take care of a child if your on the comp all day.I don't know you so I'm not going to assume, but in my opinion, yes you can be on the computer, when the baby, is asleep or playing happily by themselves in a safe place or if your child is school age and in school, but to be on all day and ignore the child(ren) is unacceptable.( not talking about you) First let me say I don't have children... Not by choice. I did help raise my nephew for a few years while his mother was running wild and his dad was working to make ends meet - they were seperated going through divorce. Hubby and I also raised two little girls for 5 years (long story). At any rate, I think that if your children are tended to that you deserve SOME time to yourself. I don't think they should be neglected or that the television or a video game should be the babysitter. There should be sometime that you play with your children. Spending time with them when they are young shapes your relationship with them for the future. You can't expect to wait until they're teenagers and then want to be a part of their life and want to know their every move. If you are on the computer while they are playing, the computer should be in a location in the house where you can keep an eye on the children if they're playing indoors. If the children are playing outdoors then you should be outdoors with them or near a window where you can watch them. Of course all of this is dependent on their age as well. If they are toddlers then closer/constant supervision is needed. The older they get a little more freedom from the constant eye is okay if they're responsible and understand RULES that you as a parent should set and enforce. And it would be foolish to think that you'd need to watch a teenager as close as you would a toddler, but even then they should be responsible and understand and obey your rules. Always keep in mind though that no matter their age this is a MEAN world we live in and bad things and accidents happen when we least expect it.

My Opinion and experience with someone else's children


As a responsible parent you are entitled to some time to yourself.If you have fed and bathed your chilren, read their bedtime story and they are safely tucked into bed with their goodnight kiss, leave them to their sweet dreams with a clear conscience.Of course parenting is a 24/7 resposibility and so is being a wife.However it is supposed to be a labour of love not servitude.For the record .sometimes I would let the dusting for a day and just do something fun and spontaneous with my children( I'm not talking filth).Believe me as a parent I set priorities and time spent with my children was a memory more positive than saying "Wait a minute while I dust the table" Fingerprints are left by busy and happy little hands.Enjoy them they are only young once and no matter how clean your house isyour child will remember the time you spent together.Moms are allowed to have rest time to refresh themselves. A burnt out motor in a car will not start just on willpower, nor do people.

My daughters are both successful adults and my grandchildren are a delight.Yes , I will forgo dusting to play dolls, kick a soccer ball or go to the park.Guess what they have big smiles when they come and have not mentioned dust once. Don't live your life with the regret that you wished you had invested your time with family wisely.My family time investments have surpassed my wildest dreams.
