running a household

posting on a poker player forum, your choices are really bad.

i'm making all of my money about 3 feet from my bed. if i was still doing this when i have kids, i would most likely stay at home and watch them grow, and then when they napped in the mid afternoon, i would play poker for 3-4 hours.

i'm sure many people are doing the same thing.

so what is the wife doing ?

the worst thing about my choices is that i didn't include pizza or beer.

i'm just trying to get a general feel of how people feel about this subject.

Blowing him 10x a day, cooking his food, bathing him and giving him massages, etc.

both my parents worked and its really not that difficult, before i started school i had my grandmother around. when i started school, i would go over to friends' houses and their mother would take care of us. these are friends that i am still close with today and consider my brother.

I still don't understand why this is applicable to this thread.

"DINK." For God's sake, do I need to draw you a diagram? 'Cause I've been known to do that.

Double Income No Kids.

Maybe I'm missing something here. Actually, I would appreciate if you drew me a diagram. That could be pretty funny.

yeah that doesn't sound too bad, it's cool you had your grandma and friends mom around.

i feel lucky because my mom stayed at home to raise us. i really hate the idea of paying someone else to watch my kids, or working opposite shifts just to make things work.

a coworker of mine is about to enter into the situaton of working opposite shifts full time, i can't imagine how much that would suck.

my mom was a teacher. that was a perfect situation because she had pretty much the same hours as me.
