[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 493649, member: 1258"] Lammie, Sorry you take offense but I do equate the two in some instances. The instance that I am speaking of - A) They got a dog that they didn't want to spend time with so they shoved it in a crate so they didn't have to deal with it. B) They had a child they didn't want to deal with so they shoved her in daycare so they wouldn't have to deal with her. When they discovered they didn't have time for a dog they shouldn't have had a baby. I also don't think that women who work out of the home are better mothers than those who choose to stay home to raise their children. There are good mothers in each category.
