So true. That's why Obama's comment about the "luxury" of staying home is so insulting. Most people I know who stay at home are not doing so because their husbands have really high incomes. Most of their husbands have average or lower than average incomes and more than the average number of kids (most in my close social circle have 4-12.) Do you think the cop with 11 kids (10 are still at home and 6 were adopted through the state because of their special needs and will always live at home) has his wife staying home from her previous career in social work because he's raking it in? Homeschoolers here also pay 100% of the K-12 education for their kids too. And sports. And music. Do we understand economic issues? Are you kidding!?!

It's time to abandon the socialist myth that all citizens are entitled to their neighbors' money for K-12 education. Homeschoolers all over the country like me support lobby groups like Homeschool Legal Defense Association to fight such nonsense like that and vouchers. Didn't your mamma ever tell you, "He who pays the piper calls the tune?" Most homeschoolers who are not refugees (those who started their kids out in public school and later left it for homeschooling) are homeschooling because we understand that education is not a proper role of government-just like religion and healthcare are not a proper role of government. We were successful LONG before government school online was an option. That's not homeschooling.

No. Lowering taxes for ALL taxpayers is the right way to go. Gutting and/or phasing out all unconstitutional government spending is the solution here. Americans, you wanna make or adopt a baby? Go right ahead and know that you should bear 100% of the cost of you child's needs: food, clothing, medical care, and education.

What!?!? MTV is airing trash!?!? Who knew?...Oh, right. Everyone knows that. If you live your life so that "the collective" in your imagination is responsible for protecting your kids from this garbage, then it's already too late. This isn't Wonderland, it's the real world. Either take all the responsibility required to raise your children yourself or resign yourself to the fact that you've handed them over to others, and some of those others won't have the same values as you do. You can't have it both ways. That's reality.

You can read about the proposed parental rights amendment to the US Constitution at parentalrights.org.

There are plenty of adoptive parents who put tremendous value on each baby-even before they are born. Most pay tens of thousands of dollars and go through grueling waits to privately adopt a newborn. Others travel the globe, pay high fees, spend years "under the microscope" and jump through seemingly endless hoops to get those children and love them just the same as they would or do their biological children.

2. Fund you own kids' education. You are not morally entitled to $10,000 per year per child from the taxpayers. It's your job to live a lifestyle from the day you turn 18 that plans for private school. (The ones around here run about $5,000-$5, 200 per year per child, and no, you don't have to have certain test score to get in or stay.) This means avoiding debt and even small luxuries (eating out, a bedroom per child, electronic gizmos, a house requiring 2 incomes to cover the mortgage, etc.) and living humbly like your grandparents did. Dad's income covers all living expenses and mom's covers tuition or she schools them herself at home.

There is something wrong with Americans, they think they're entitled to other people's money and don't think they are responsible for themselves and their families. 1. Fund your own retirement. We seem to have multiple generations who think it's the government's job to support them in their old age. From the time they get their first job they need to put away through savings and reasonable investment something to live on when they can't work anymore. They need to plan to work until they physically or mentally can't or until they can afford to not work anymore. They need to maintain relationships and raise their children to understand that adult children take care of their parents.

That was my second pregnancy. At 14 weeks we knew the placenta wasn't attached quite right and may tear off at any moment. Abortion was suggested as a detached placenta would cause massive internal bleeding. Abortion was suggested because the potential complication would kill us both. We said no. In labor the tube ruptured (on the way to the hospital) and half and hour later the placenta tore completely off and came out just before my middle daughter was pulled out during her crash c-section. She had a 99% of being dead. She had 1% chance of being brain-dead. She was perfectly normal. It took a couple of blood transfusions, but here I am alive and well.

Have you not heard about the woman in Australia who had a full term ectopic pregnancy and c-section delivery? Google it. It will not kill both. If the fallopian tube ruptures (I've experienced one in labor at 40 weeks that was not an ectopic pregnancy) the woman has 30 minutes or a little more to have emergency surgery to stop the bleeding. Knowing you have an ectopic pregnancy, you can make plans to get help immediately if you have a rupture. It's incredibly painful, so you won't miss it. I also had placenta tear off at the same time (we knew at 14 weeks that might happen) with additional massive bleeding and had arrangements made for emergency surgery throughout that pregnancy. I've BTDT-it's not the guaranteed grave people claim.
