I am not trying to tell you what to do BUT...

I wish I could erase those words from the english language.  People say that just before they give you their brand of advice.  I wish I could tell them to keep their advice. 

I know that people mean well.  I know they think that they are wiser and are giving me excellent advice.  Well most of the time they are telling me things I already know and already thought of. 

Get a job because after this I will not be helping you anymore.  I know you have your own dreams and ambitions.  The money you have painstaking saved is for your own pleasure.  The thing is I have been looking for a job.  Unfortunately I have to take into account my limitations.  Which are than goodness few.  I have to consider that I have bills I have to pay like car insurance.  After all I need the car to find a job.  I have to find a job that pays enough for daycare.  I have a lot to consider.  I am not going to do something I do not love.

I raised two wonderful girls.  I never gave them advice.  I forced them to think things through and make their own decisions.  I asked them to consider all the options and then decide what would be the best option. 

A one year old is different.  For him it is a matter of keeping him busy.  That does not mean plying him with toys.  It means letting him discover new things. 

Except for playing in the toilet because that is just disgusting.
