Granny's gone and done it again

We like to jump from topic to topic, you just need to keep up! Pay attention!

Well, just because I look dumb that's no sign I'm not..

when we live in a world where you need the dual income household just to get by...so raising your kids goes to daycares/babysitters/school...

Lol. All these darned millennial parents....

Actually there are lots of moms who actually Stay home and raise their kids. It can be done. You learn to live in a budget and do without.

Um, ok, I'm lost.. what did you going to the store in Sacramento have to do with what I was planning to paint? Must be a trick question in there somewhere.

Nothing , just a random comment. We talk about fish a lot on this thread.

But you can both work and keep tabs on and provide for your own kids. We only had 2 because that was doable for us. It's irresponsible to expect others to do your parenting is how I feel.

yes and no. It does take a village, but nowadays the village isn’t there. Lot of people don’t know their neighbors, don’t look out for the neighborhood kids.

Early to bed ....


Careful with the digital zoom. Once you get past the optical zoom it duplicates pixels to make the image larger. The more you zoom the fuzzier the picture will be.


And Granny!
AYE!


Doesn't it mostly come out of his pocket anyway?


There are hair sheep, they shed so no shearing. Don't know if they are smarter than wool sheep or not.


NEXT month? That doesn't start for over a week. Not close to "last minute" yet.


Oh that would be SO sad!


I can't see it, at least not unless I go somewhere. It is too low on the horizon and is blocked by the trees.


Why the heck would you be spraying oil all over the place?


So fish are unclean? They don't chew cud.


Water, sugar and borax. Put it in a dish on the counter and let the ants take it back to the nest where everyone dies.






And those that didn't put out much effort know they didn't but got accolades for slacking. Yep, good lesson.


Dry hardwood?? Wow, that is SUPER cheap.


And while underpaid, the cost of daycare pretty much means that after taxes one of the parents is basically working for nothing.

guess it depends on how much the parents make, and healthcare benefits.

We would not be able to afford it the way hosing is in this place. Hubs makes decent money but....we do need both incomes, for example.

It's not hard, just like skipping rope! You can do it.

I agree with you both. Responsible parents consider all their options and situation as they plan their family.

I pulled out the material to make my Grandson a quilt. Good to be back at it!

 

[cheepteach]

do you machine quilt or do it by hand? I use the machine or I'd never get done
