okay here we go, time to tell my whole life story.
alhumduliah he has a job now, a better one. we didnt sit around for months milking the benefits system and being freeloaders and assuming our parents would look after us, when i concieved, he was working then as welll, now huis contract finishing after, wasnt something we knew ok?
secondly yes we are, and it was temp accomodation because we are finding ahouse in the area, whcih we will move into in a month or two..ok so now you know, are you comparing..?
and why would my dad buy diapers or my mum do the shopping, thats disgraceful, even if i was on my last pennies i would never do that, even for the few weeks my husband never had a job, we paid our way, i hated the fact my mother even bought stuff for us, because i did feel like we were freeloading..and hey im talking about food…nothing major here.
i would want my parents to retire from everything,all the hard work they ahve done for us, living with them and helping them out as well, for a few months is whole different ball game to me giving them my kid when she/he born and waddling off to work, for the next 5 years…and i mean giving them to her and treating it like its a job for them…5 days week, 9 hours aday…we women, always say how motherhood is never appreciated, how men think we sit all day long eating chips and watchin star plus…how we get offended, well looking after kids we say, is hard, so whys that fair on our p[arents to look after not just their own kids, but their kids kids…
sooo…its OK to use the parents’ availability to your advantage for as long as you need it (saving up on rent, electricity, gas, cable tv, etc) but somehow its not OK if a working mother uses a grand parents’ availability to save on babysitters?
