1. 100% agree

   You've said it -- what was won overall? I think Corey did the right thing. Having been in an abusive family, sometimes you just don't see it when you're in the middle of it. I know that's hard to believe or understand... but it's true. But I'm proud of Corey. Very proud of him.

2. teasing

   I was teasing when I said that Nikki drills ABC's all day. I really, really was. I realize that she does much more than that. I KNOW. It really amazes me all that she does with my boys -- things I could never do. She has the patience of Job, and really challenges the boys to be better people. I'm amazed every day at the things she does with my boys. I don't have half her creativity or knowledge about kids. I want you guys to know that I was NOT trying to diminish what SAHMs do. I actually didn't choose to have my boys. They were all surprises (even while I was on BC). But I decided to keep them because their father and I love them. I can give them a good life. I teach them, read to them, play with them, cook with them. But I have to admit -- I like working. When I was a SAHM, I wound up clinically depressed. Not just because of staying home. But it contributed. So I did what was best for my boys and got someone who can do things like salt dough crafts (which I had no idea how to do before Nikki showed me). My boys have learned more and met more people with Nikki than they ever did with me. And I am able to carry on what she starts.

3. Misunderstood

   I think I've been slightly misunderstood... I wasn't saying that caring for children is oppressive. I was saying that forcing a women to stay home when that is not best for her or her family is oppressive. I have tried to stay home with my boys -- none of us were as happy as when I work. Like I said, it contributed greatly to depression -- and depressed mommies have a tough time doing what's best for their babies (kids in general). Just because I CAN stay home doesn't mean I should. What's healthiest for my kids is that they have a caring person there to help them, that they know mommy loves them and will always be there if they need her, and that they have a happy childhood. When I am depressed, my kids are not happy. It's just that way -- I'm incapable of caring for my children when I'm depressed. I mean, seriously depressed. Not just a little sad or tired. Clinically depressed. So sure... I could stay home. But it's not always the best thing for the kids. That's what I was trying to say.
