Lorraina Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 Aye it's a different world now. I'm not sure it's better but it's very different. Yes I'm female, but I wonder. Look at the kids then Look at the kids now. *wonders* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that there is a direct correlation to the breakdown of the family unit and delinquints. Someone belongs at home with the kids whether it be the husband or the wife. It should't be viewed as a sacrafice, but as a responsibility that comes with the privilage of having a family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraina Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 I've always stayed home with my kids. I've never looked at but anything but a privelege. I know my husband and I have sacrificed a lot in material ways to do it, but I've felt blessed I had a husband that saw it was important too. The kids came first. I have great kids so far. People are always asking how come my kids are so good and how do I know the words to those songs and ect etc. Yes I know every dinosaur name there is, I know the boy bands, I know the American Girl Dolls and have read every book!. how you think I got into this game? My oldest kid! hehe, the point is I'm in there lifes even if I have to push my way in, but it takes a lot of energy and I admire my friends that can do both, work and be involved. I'm too old and tired to do both! I really think it's easier to stay home and be a full time mom, but at times it's lonely work and you can feel the world passing you by. If the husband isn't a great and supportive guy it's even harder. Bottom line, the kids. I look it at this way, I gave birth to this kid, I owe it 18 years to give it wings. *smiles* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldren Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 Scary.. the first time I read this I thought it was a joke...... then I came to the gradual realization that it isn't... Damn, men were *%@holes.. I mean don't get me wrong.. I'd like a wife like that too, but if you even ASK for some of the things on this list, you're boud to lose 50% of your worldly possessions....

Lan Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 WOW! So I thought this was "cute" and decided to print it out and post it up next to the CPU. Well, needless to say this did not go over very well with the little lady! She wanted to know if they all slept on couches too in the "good ol' days" and suggested that if I didn't, I should remove this, hehe Needless to say, its been removed......

Wolf Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 It really does make you wonder. Where along the way did family take a back seat. Don't get me wrong, I don't support the whole mentality portrayed in the text, but the idea of stability in the household makes a whole wack of sense to me. I think certain governments may be realizing this as well. Up here for example (Canada) laws changed this year to allow for a full year of maternity leave at 60% of the base salary. Husbands can take paternity for 36 weeks should they desire, as part of that one year if you want to split it up. If it's financially feasible, I personally would rather trust the upbringing of my child to myself and spouse as opposed to daycare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lan Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 I agree with you 100% Wolf. I would much rather my wife or myself to stay home with the kids no matter what the cost instead of daycare. That is what will produce a more secure child in the long run. And Coldren I did not GIVE in, I mearly compromised the situation(she said take it down,I said "ok") hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alodar Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 well, of course, this is most likely a joke... Urban Legend Reference Page "How to be a Good Wife" Still, this is how, for many of us, our parent's lived (not so extreme, of course). Much is to be gained and lost in change, only time will tell how this change balances out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've decided I'm just going to be rich... Until that happens, a "good woman" will take a back seat, for once I am rich, that little problem will take care of itself.

Lan Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 OUCH!! Harsh words from above!! Hear her roar! Hehe J/K Anyways bud, I was in the same situation and said the EXACT samething. Well let me tell you something, i've been doing it in sales and its the women who really don't care about your money that you'll like better....mine snagged me in 4 hrs and could've cared less what I did(trust me, I told her off the bat that I shoveled trash for a living!!!)

Koopsta Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 Im still young, and maybe Im wrong, but this is my take on it... The reason why kids these days for the most part are soo messed up and destined for Jail or worse is a combination of things.. one is definatley TV... I mean come on, primetime on most channels would give someone a coronary back then, and kids soak junk like that up at an early age like a sponge... another thing is the cost of living is way higher than it was back then... people have to spend more and more of their time working just to support their children... man and wife work their ass off to provide things for their children they didnt have, in the process seeing less and less of each other, grow apart get deviorced, split the kids up, dead beat dads, single mothers raising children without a father figure, drugs, peer pressure, you get the idea... just a few reasons why the future of America is not as bright as most would like... Like I said before, maybe Im wrong, what do I know, im a kid myself..:roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldren Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 Quote from Lorraina, posted on Umm how would you know she's a "good woman" and not just after your money? Oh, I'm counting on it being for the money at first.. Which guy gets the girls attention first: The good looking one in the Ferrari or the good looking guy in the Ford Escort? It's like fishing... Dave Chapelle said it best: From Dave Chaplle - "Killin'em Softly" A woman's challange in life is material. A man's challange in life.. is a woman. If a guy could get away with having sex in a cardboard box, they wouldn't even own a house.. Guys don't care what cars they drive.. Guys don't particularly like nice cars.. But girls do... That's why the guys get the nice cars. It's the bait: "Ooo girl look at the guy in that Porche!" "GOTCHA B*#$H!" Hook, line, and sinker.... Truer words were never spoken.. Ask any guy And besides when I have the money, I have the luxury of taking my pick. And I don't meet women well.. I'm not ugly or hideous or anything like that.. I'm just shy.. and when women do try to talk to me I don't really have much to say.. I'm a pretty boring guy. I go to work, pay my bills, play computer, watch movies/TV, get drunk on the weekends with my friends and occasionally sleep. Not exactly an exciting life Furthermore, who says I'm not going to have a prenup that works heavily in my favor? Cheat on me once, you're gone and you get nothing. Divorce me for some other reason? You're gone, no money for you. I cheat (which I NEVER have and never will.. My parents taught me better than that)? Divorce me. THEN I'll see who's marrying me for me. See, it's all planned out! :sleep2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lan Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 Tell us how you really feel!! HAHAHAH I love all the above!! Coldren, we need to get together over a few beers man!!

Coldren Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 Quote from Lan, posted on Coldren, we need to get together over a few beers man!! Mmmmm.... beer..... Would sound like a great plan, but the problem is I'm only 20 (Note, just cause I can't drink at a BAR doesn't mean I don't drink ) so you'd have to bring the beers... Other than that, I'm definitly game :idea: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koopsta Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 Id have to have my ID with me.. heh.. although im 22 I look like im 17 A curse when buyin beer, but ill be thankin my lucky stars when im 30 and look 24 As a matter of fact I have an empty keg in the garage.. only 65$ to fill it up! hehe And as far as the gold diggin chicken head skeezaz go, you can see them commin a mile away.. The trick is beating them at their own game before they have a chance to do it.. Finding the "right girl/guy" shouldnt be high on anyones priority list in their lower or mid 20's anyway.. because wether or not most want to admit it, they arent ready for that kind of commitment... I know im sure as h-e double hocky sticks not.. life is too short to have to worry about providing for a wife and kids when your just becomming an adult.... I'll stick to parties and bars, beer and multiple girls.. as apposed to one.. You might find that offending ladies of PGoH, but im sure you have more morals and self respect about you than the sugar daddy hunting, clothes are my life, go out with a guy untill i find something better, "OH MY GOD! LOOK AT HIS RIDE!!" girls im referring too... ok im done... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
