@mandy123 Yeah. That’s the first step in critical thinking and being able to understand different points of view. I’m not trying to be an asshole. I’m genuinely trying to help you get something out of this post, because a lot of people aren’t engaging with you. As to why that is, I think it’s...

@mandy123 Sweet. Hopefully my advice helps you do that.

@mandy123 What conclusion would you draw from that?

@mandy123 I don’t mean to cross the threads here, but since you directed me to this comment, I have a few follow up questions. How do you define a SAHP? Is it any parent who spends any amount of time away from work to be with their child? Or is it someone who has left (or never entered...
