[QUOTE="eric, post: 37811, member: 7"] TXAG....sounds like a nice, made up story to fit the cause, but I ain't buying it! And did you decide to put your child in daycare and go back to work? Was buying nice things for your family more important than spending quality time with your child in the most important yrs of his/her life?
