In reply to the discussion: I'm a stay-at-home-mom [View all]riverbendviewgal
(4,252 posts)61. I was a stay at home mom and worked the 2nd shift
My husband and I both worked... He worked the day shift and I worked the afternoon shift. I HAD to go back to work as there was not enough money to pay the rent and the car loan and food.
We worked it out so that there was no baby sitter fees.. It was hard on us as a couple...We were like passing ships in the night but both our sons had a parent at home. I did the cleaning and preparing the food and grocery shopping while not at work.
Mrs Rommey DOES NOT KNOW what it is like to be a working mom.
I pray for America to have Obama re-elected and a Democratic congress this November.
Republicans are so mean spirited. Even our Progressive Conservatives are to the left of the American Republican party.

An hour per horse per day minimum and that's if the staff does the grooming, tacking and untacking.

I understand the point that was trying to be made, but it was presented badly.
