    So there you are, saying it's sad to think that being around a toddler all day would be boring.

    so clearly most people would agree that interaction with adults is necessary for a normal existance, and wanting it isn't "sad". So why are you saying it is?

    I said it's sad a parent wouldnt want to stay at home with their toddler.

    Just because you're a homemaker, doesnt mean you have to spend all day and night either on the playmat with the child or chained up in the kitchen. Why do you presume all stay at home parents should have no interaction with adults just because they look after a child all day? For instance, you can take your child out to the park and interact with adults like your partner or other parents as I previously stated.
    And now you are back pedaling like a video of the tour de france on rewind. You are either a troll or an idiot, or quite possibly both.

      Men would be happy enough, but I can't see the arrangement/marriage working.

        kids?

        For the record. I wouldn't. But how about everyone else?
        In a heartbeat. Drag a damp rag over every horizontal surface, push a sucking machine over every floor, order groceries online, drop the kids off at school all day, and have machines that wash the dishes, wash the clothes, dry the clothes all for me while I sit on my arse reading take-a-break waiting for the groceries to be delivered.

        In a frakin heartbeat.

          You are the troll.

          I never backpedalled at all. I even responded to your comment.

            Been too busy to read all of your posts on here, so can you level with me?

            On a 1 - 10 scale, how much of a tosser are you? A 1 being quite nice such as OracleSlave or Zippy, and 10 being MF?

            Just for clarity like

              To be honest Suityou. I think you've made that sound more complicated than it is.

                  Obviously not as much as you are.

                  I wasnt the one that started the argument between doodab and I.

                  Quite frankly, it's childish of some of you to start arguments, then protest and insult those who defend themselves against such attacks like myself.

                    Why not? I'd have a huge amount of respect for anyone looking after a child & house fulltime - regardless of the sex of the person.

                    Going to the office all day is infinitely easier, and we all know it.

                      You are obviously one of those people that people take a dislike to. Whether that is something you deliberately cultivate or something that occurs naturally is an open question.
