Muncle. My name is Rhonda not Robin, and I know that was not a slip, because you have called me that before and I let it go. I take it as name calling and won't stoop to that level. I know most, MOST women stay home for several weeks after a birth to bond with a child if they CAN. I hated, HATED to leave my children to go back to work at 6 weeks, but I HAD to. I was also VERY fortunate that I worked opposite my hubs hours and we never HAD to have a babysitter and never did. My hub is a fantastic Dad!! He worked all day and cared for our children at night since birth so we could put a roof over our heads and food on the table. I just really feel that the baby will not bond with her because she will be way too busy. It is just my opinion. I do not expect anyone to agree with me and I don't care if they do or not. I thought everyone has agreed to disagree. One other question, would PALIN be a great president if, God Forbid, something happened to McCain? I don't think so. To me, it is strange that a virtual unknown (until now) with very little political experience (PTA, runner-up Miss Alaska, and journalist don't count as political experience) was the choice! As I said before, LET THE GAMES BEGIN! I am going out now, and will not post in political again until after the elections. Have a nice day!! LOL BTW Peggy, you are soooo right!!
