    Ya ~ it is the sad thing about our field .... A) all they are seeing is the 'savings' on their end they are not seeing that our income is regulated out the wazoo and therefore a child pulling out for a month means a dip in our direct income and most people do not grasp the concept of 'paying for the spot being occupied' combined with B) the age ole stereotype that many still hold that we are all just staying home anyway so that anything we earn is just 'bingo money' so to speak ~ sad how many women forget that we while YES we are choosing to stay home we are not choosing to stay out of the the WORKFORCE we chose to open a home based business instead ... we are still replacing the income we would be earning if we worked 'outside of the house' verses being at home ... this is not 'bingo money' for us anymore than their second income is 'bingo money' to them we do this because we are contributing to a dual income home to afford our families the lifestyle they are accustom to ~ just like their income is to their family ... why are WE any less deserving of putting policies in place to protect our income just as they would with their income ~ if their boss suddenly said to them ~ hey we want you to come into work everyday in August for 10 hours a day but we are only going to pay you 3/5 or 4/5 of your wage cause things are 'slow' this month but we are going to keep you on just in case things pick back up again in September and than we can pay you full wage again ~ do you think that would FLY with any other worker? Hell look at all the unions striking over a wage FREEZE let alone if they were expecting to pay them LESS for the same amount of work
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
