I work hard to provide for my DS! I want for him to NEVER want for anything that he may need! I also dont work you average Mon-Fri 9-5 , but I put in 80 hrs every two weeks. My first week I look 5 12 hr shifts(Mon,Tues, Fri, Sat, & Sun) and the 2nd week I work Wed 12 hrs and Thurs is only 8 hrs. So does that mean bc of this Australian study that my son is not going to be healthy?? I dont think so! He is as healthy as can be!
Mind you this statement was posted on a persons facebook status and I looked up the acticle to read and found this one. Something else is the person that posted their status is a stay at home mom that sells Pampered Chef on the side.
I whole heartedly feel that it would be so nice to work from home or not work at all! But then again going to work is like the Mommy free time and getting paid for it! I feel that I have a very rewarding career and I really enjoy it and love the fact that I don't work Mon-Fri.
I guess that means my kid is going to be fat because Im not home with him all the time... oh well. That does not mean that I live love him any different.
You're doing a great job raising Austin! Just because you work, doesn't mean Austin won't be healthy. I know plenty of parents who have stayed at home yet their children are sick all the time. (I guess that's what the article was referring to and not being overweight. I couldn't pull it up.)
