I just have to say that I'm gobsmacked (not a very intelligent word, I'm thinkin') at what AG has stated here.
SG & SE, I applaud both of you.
Thank you. Thank you very much. (That's my best Elvis.)
I worked full time and went to college while my D was young. This would have been impossible if my X hadn't owned his own business and could set his own hours. When she got involved in sports (3rd grade) I am proud to admit that I was the only Mom who made every sporting event she participated in until she graduated!!! "She" was my priority.
Good for you. I also worked and had 3 kids in under 3 1/2 yrs. I was and still am an awesome mom. Does that make me my hero?
Also, if I'd had someone to pay my way (like AG did), I easily could've become a full time student for years on end. I loved college and did very well there. I didn't have that luxury. I was not smart enough to have my career stabilized before I had children. Ya know, sometimes they just come when you're not planning for them. But......I wouldn't change a single thing about my life.
I feel the same way as you. It sure would be nice to have someone pay for college. Unfortunately not everyone has that option. I wonder what AG would have done had she been born into a less privileged family? There are lots of those kinds of families in every ethnic group.
I'm happy right where I am and AG is obviously full of angst on a daily basis. AG, you seem to thrive on pissing people off indirectly. So go already, huh? Hang out with your own kind and leave us underly ambitious, foul mouthed heathens to fend for ourselves.
Is that what we are? lol
I was OK with you posting about your angst on your own thread and just ignored it but now you've taken to posting everywnere and it's more difficult to ignore. This is ridiculous.....
Sorry about not being smart enough to know how to make all your comments into quotes, Jill. But to console myself I'm going to go gaze into the mirror and admire myself.
