I think it is not only humorous to read, but also reminds us of the dangers of finding strangers to care for your children on CL and how many parents are willing to take advantage of caregivers by paying them well below minimum wage. <br /><br />In all honesty, you really do need to be super careful of CL: it can be a very dangerous thing. You should be careful who you hire to care for your children, and who you meet (and where) to purchase or sell items.<br /><br />I don't know who had the idea originally or how it started, but I look forward to the CLWTF posts. <br />As MPP said, if you don't like it, don't read them. <br /><br />WTF: as Mom would say, you seem to have a "chip on your shoulder."

Some idiot is searching them out and submitting them based on ignorance. But, hey, I can see you have no intention of admitting you were wrong about the ad.

Geography does not excuse how children are raised. People may not know better, but the effects are just the same in the kids in the end.<br /><br />Also, I was thinking that I have been unduly harsh on Iowa, a place that I really do love. There are a lot of great things and a lot of great people there. I just sometimes get very discouraged when I see the changes that I think are so negative taking place in a place where I was taught a very firm work ethic, and watched my parents and grandparents work as much as they needed to, without complaint, and without asking for a anything from anybody, ot take care of their own responsibilities. It was so ingrained in me that that is how a person ought to be.<br />I thought of Iowa as the one place I could go and see the "ZAmerican Dream" taking place as it should be...a days work for a day's pay and pride in a hard day's work and a job well done. <br /><br />I have been increasingly disturbed to see all of these younger people abandoning that ethic hand over fist and simply holding their hands out, purposely working the system...and my Aunt, who was a school teacher for years and years, says that the welfare moms often drive better cars and have more income than the hard working people. And during the last election, talk I heard centered way less on the candidates themselves and way more on which candidate would put more dollars in people's personal pockets. Ugh!<br /><br />But let's not forget that Iowa is still the place that largely pulled itself out of the disaster they suffered last year without whining for FEMA to do more and more and more. Yes, FEMA was there, but citizens helped one another in a way that did make me very proud of Iowa and let me see the old Iowa that I remember and love.momnoreply@blogger.com
