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!!

Rhonda,
I hate to disappoint you, but calling you Robin in the previous post was completely, totally, and absolutely a slip, a brain cramp on my part if you will. And I have NEVER called you that before. To verify this, I did a search on the word and found that I had typed "Robin" one time. This was months ago in as discussion of puns and I said:
"A punch line has been going through my head all day and I cannot remember the setup.
"A mime is a terrible thing to waste."
I know it was used in Robin Hood: Men in Tights, but I seem to remember that it was a punchline in a terrible joke."
To the best of my knowledge and as far as I can research, I have never otherwise typed the word.
As for the rest of your msg, I will concede that you are undoubtedly correct, that it is far more beneficial for both child and mother to have a most extensive period of bonding. It is beneficial both in the short and long run.
However, I stand by my assessment that had your statement been made by a male, especially a conservative male, about any woman in public life, especially a liberal woman, he would have been chastised within an inch of his life.
And as for Palin being a totally inexperienced person only a heartbeat from the presidency, I find that preferable to having an equally or ever less experienced person actually being elected president. But neither side will concede on this, so it should be an interesting 67 days.

Since you have chosen to abstain from this forum for a time, I hope someone will advise you of my reply. The Robin reference was an accident, no harm, sarcasm, or anything else meant. I apologize.
