I didn't miss it at all. My original point was one person should be a stay at home parent. By that I ment afford to. We had it tough but was able to do it not everyone can I understand that but that is my point. If they can and are willing it would make out for a better situation all around. Let me make sure I have this straight. Having a couple live a lifestyle that they are willing and able to live makes a better situation all around than them living a lifestyle they are forced to live either by social dictates or financial necessity? Hmmm. Who'd a thunk it. Necessity is a very broad with peoples expectations

Did he really have a choice? What impact did him being overworked have on "a healthy home life"? My working father and I don't have a close relationship and he isn't a very open person but he has made a few comments over the years about what his life, from his perspective, was like in those years. They weren't positive. Sure he did. I didn't think I made a very convincing statment but he also knew that the benefit of me working was to very little financial gain. Childcare is the main one at the time living in NY it was expensive. The home life was good also he worked 5 ten hour days 6 on Sat. Eventually I went back to school and we did opposite shifts for childcare that was a little tougher on the family but it did go by quick. I then stayed home again until the girls were in HS. It is not for everyone but I feel the home life and eventually society benefits from kids having a parent around. We could go on and on with single moms and dads, low paying jobs, high cost of living etc. That is what I was saying that if we could be like older times it would be better. re bolded. That is one interesting sentence; directly connecting the hours that he wasn't in the home to it being a good home life.

Hmmm. Who'd a thunk it. Necessity is a very broad with peoples expectations However there is a reasonable bottom line to it. Adequate safe housing with heat as needed. Enough calories to maintain the body. Accessibility to medical care to maintain health. Adequate clothing. Then there is the part that is necessary to maintain a safe psychological environment. Any of those involved in the living situation can lose that "will" to be in it if they start to feel too limited by it. That is how the breadth of expectations becomes important.

So "normal" kids that aren't great athletes can just go pound sand? BTW: I'm not some namby pamby unathletic schlub. I swam in college, and was state ranked on in the 200 yd. fly and 400 yd. IM. I had a sectional record in HS. There is still room for not so athletic kids at the HS level. No that is not what i'm saying. But there should be a minimum of fitness to be able to play little league. Or maybe they should develop the skills and fitness necessary by actually playing ball instead of getting cut.

Can we at least make it so that people like this are never allowed to own a gun again? I especially like the mom quote at the end. Pin Hsin Lin, who had been teaching piano lessons in her Sunset Boulevard apartment in Arcadia for nearly three years, was getting ready for a lesson when a bullet that was fired through her ceiling barely missed her.
Lin had initially heard loud bangs around noon on Aug. 1, which she assumed was her upstairs neighbor slamming doors. Lin realized the sounds were gunshots when the fourth loud noise came with a bullet through her ceiling, which struck a lamp on her piano.
“Suddenly, there’s a straight bullet,” Lin told ABC 7. “When I saw the hole, I was like, ‘This is a real gunshot!’ So I called police immediately.”
Lin also found another bullet hole in a cabinet in her kitchen. The bullet, which was fired while she was preparing food at noon, was stopped by a rice cooker on a top shelf. She believes her 39-year-old neighbor, Kathryn Pugh, was targeting her rather than aimlessly shooting through the floor.
Police said they found Pugh intoxicated and in possession of two legally registered guns in her apartment. She was arrested and charged with two counts of felony for discharging a firearm at an inhabited dwelling.
Pugh, who moved in last year, had been complaining about the noise of her downstairs neighbor, according to Lin. Pugh is reportedly a Los Angeles registered nurse who was honored with a Daisy Award at Huntington Health in 2019. The award recognizes “excellence in clinical skills, caring and compassion.”
Pugh’s bail was initially set at $250,000 before it was raised to $500,000. However, she was deemed a danger to the community by Judge Terry Lee Smerling, who then ordered her to be held without bail despite Pugh not having a criminal record.
“She has no priors, she’s a responsible person, she went to Berkeley, she got a scholarship, she got a 4.0 (grade point average),” Pugh’s mother Marie also told ABC 7. “She is one of the best people ever put on this Earth.”
Lin does not feel the same way. She believes Pugh will seek revenge if she returns to the apartment above her.

Perfect example go to any restaurant where there is a family odds are everyone will be on their person cell phone.

they also want drugs decriminalized. and are soft on public nudity. and think dildoes and porn are ok, so long as they are not exploitative. a billion things that drive social conservatives absolutely nuts. again, i am not sure ANY of that has to do with our problems. Im conservative. Ok with nude beaches and such, love my sex toys, enjoy watching porn. Husband don't expect sex but I think its our job to make sure we each satisfied. Oh no mabe I'm turning liberal eeeek. No I don't think that is it. none of us are purely one thing or another. it is a shame we can't all recognize that. it would ELIMINATE the need to think of the other as truly "other".

i am not sure i would put it that way, because it is more about the grand vision of society. it is not really policy based. the neocons were committed ideologues. and like most committed ideologues they won't let a little matter like the truth get in their way. and that sort of excessive, radical idealism is exceedingly dangerous, as WW2 clearly illustrated. have you seen the Power of Nightmares, TG? it covers this item REALLY well. this is just the first 12 mins, if you don't have time right now. Thanks a good video clip, when time permits I will look up to movie. Makes you think I just don't know if it is the way it was intended tho documentaries are intended to inform. Curtis has no skin in the game. the reason i brought it up is that it is fairly critical of the failures of liberalism, and how this created an opening for a new politic based on fear rather than trust. and that, in turn has flipped our entire political (and social) order upside down. now, you will find conservatives AND liberals using this technique. i think it is a permanent political feature in the US- perhaps the world (as Curtis points out, this idea has been taken up by MANY countries). here is WHY i keep bringing this documentary up. if we are afraid and isolated, and we no longer trust authority, what is left for us?I BELIEVE (me, my personal opinion, etc) that this is the root of the problem we are facing with guns.

I get it and the kids with special needs there are special olympics and teams. Special Olympics in elementary school? Don't make me laugh. yeah, because high school kids are just so supportive of the handicapped.

That's exactly what you said. Life was better when one parent stayed home. You KNOW that's going to be the woman. Screw her hopes and dreams of being a doctor or an environmental lawyer. She should be elbow-deep in dirty diapers, popping Valium and drinking because she's so bored and miserarable. They were drugged up to the gills. www.goretro.com/2014/08/mothers-little-helper-vintage-drug-ads.htmlThat is just it I, you or anyone else doesn't know it will be the woman. I also mentioned that women are considered equals. I know a few families where the woman is the bread winner and the husband is stay at home dad. It just made sense to them. I don't want to have it for women like it was back then. Families were better off when one person stayed home one worked and they could afford to do so. Actually we do know. How many men vs women quit there jobs to homeschool kids over covid? Statistically it will be the women, which will further the gender gap - but we should just shut up and accept it. Just because some men stay home, doesn't mean we've reached equality. Life was set up for families to work outside of the home 40-50 hours a week. It would be awesome if more families could each work 20-30 hours a week now. Both work, both manage the house. But as it is, Statistically- women work 40+ hours outside the home and still do most of the housework and heavy load child raising.

Rec is phased out between 10-14 in almost everything here so it's competition or nothing.

You do not know period no one knows its different for each family. I never said it would be more men then women or vise versa. I never said anything about equally. I'm all for working 20 to 30 hrs a week but not get full pay either.

linkShe has a strange definition of the best people. Must be taking lessons from Trump. Just another responsible gun owner From the article - “To us, that’s absolutely tragic,” Karla Sarabia, Pugh’s attorney, told ABC 7. “Conceivably until she goes to trial, so that could take months and in a serious case like this, maybe even longer. She’s going to lose her job, she’s going to lose her apartment, she’s going to lose her livelihood.”She may have been stressed from work over the past two years, but that's no excuse to try to use a gun to resolve issues. Yes, she will lose her job because her coworkers, mgmt., and the patients are going to be scared of her and wonder if they are next. Tip - do not shoot up the apartment if you are thinking of staying instead of moving. Perhaps her attorney could better spend her time by seeing if she can get her probation instead of losing her nursing license.

I am sitting here thinking fondly of my experience years ago coaching an all-comers group of 6/7 year olds in soccer. My favorite was a young gal we had wear mittens backwards so she didn't have use of her thumbs. She would get so frustrated trying to get hold of ball as we told her time after time not to grab the ball. Late in the season she made some good play, looked over at me and stated matter-of-factly, "You know, I think I am getting the hang of this." Memories

So by the time you’re 5 it’s determined whether you will play sports.

Five to nine year olds need sports tryouts because some poster on the internet says so? Is this YMAM or QAnon?

Five to nine year olds need sports tryouts because some poster on the internet says so? Is this YMAM or QAnon? Some poster stated an opinion here on YMAM. I disagree with the substance of that opinion and responded accordingly. Isn't that why YMAM is here? Or is it just an echo chamber?

And yet, she hasn't revealed her reasoning on why competition is necessary from an early age. Or did I miss it?
