Mommy Porn

Can you tell that Jips is out of town from how often I have posted today?

heh.

I just read this: mommy porn. Check it out. I loved it mainly because I know people are different and not everyone wants to stay home with their kids. At the same time, some people are totally loving and patient and want to stay at home with the young'uns.

I also hate celebs. And cosmo. Maybe I don't hate those things. Let's say I just am not the type of person to get anything out of celebrities or cosmopolitan magazines. Maybe I get something from cosmo, On the weeks I read it I have more sex than the weeks when I read science blogs. That's obvious though: If I am prompted to think about sex I will have it more often.

I bring up celebrities because of the mommy porn link (above), and why the hell do I get cosmo? Well, mycokerewards.com has shittier than ever prizes now so I just signed up for all of these magazines that I can get for free. Should I order GQ? Should I? Popular mechanics? Magazines seem like such a waste of time, especially since they are from the corporate world with all of the truthless editing.

Reading blogs on-line that are not edited by big corporations trying to sell something I find to be much more enjoyable. Which brings us to the MOMMY PORN link. I love it because it is truthful. And because I have this elaborate plan of how I will be a stay-at-home-mom (SAHM) for 5-7 years and then go back to work. So what are your plans? Kids? No Kids? SAHM? working mom? How did your nanny/housekeeper thing work when you were growing up, Novella? Did the rest of you kids have SAHMs? Do you think you can do it all?

Before my mom retired from her practice, our housekeeper would look after me and my sister everyday until my parents got home from work. I'd say that one of them was typically home by 5:30 or so. Then we would have a family dinner and go about our business. In retrospect, we didn't see my parents all that much during the week, which is why my mom decided to retire my senior year of high school to spend more time with me and my sister before we left for college.

I'm not planning on having kids, but can see how my feelings on that subject could change as I get older. My girlfriend doesn't want kids either. She's pretty confident that her feelings aren't going to change. If I did ever have kids, I don't know if I would be of the SAHM variety or not. It is a big decision.

my parents both worked (and still do) and like novella, our housekeeper took care of us while my parents worked...we had a family dinner every night, which i think is a major part of how we still stayed close even though they worked crazy long hours sometimes. we're definitely having kids, and i'm definitely working- i couldn't imagine spending this much time in school and not using my degree. also, i thought the mommy porn was great!!

having two kids makes me see how being a stay at home dad could be beneficial, but unfortunately it takes both of us working to get by.. i asked my parents once how they did it with five kids & my dad said "well, live like we did, a 700 sq. ft. house, no central air, no cable or internet, one rotary phone with no options, one car, a garden, & everybody had hand me downs.." my reply was simple, "point taken"
