For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 24, 2015

Keep fighting the good fight…just try to do it in the mornings and early afternoons. Every so often one needs to step off the treadmill and Elly’s no exception. It’d be nice if she had a little help, though. Unless I’m missing something, hasn’t this been her battle alone?

I never felt guilty, and I’ve done both the working parent and stay-at-home options. I think everyone makes the best choices for them at that time, so why bother feeling bad about it?

And when things get REALLY complicated, the turtle can retreat quickly!

Rethink the words to ‘Garden Party’.,,, by Ricky Nelson.

The fact that you had concern for doing the right thing shows you were on the right path. I’m sure you did well. Too bad there isn’t a book that tells you how to be a good parent….you may have found the answer on Page 42.

What’s the porpoise of the guilt trip?

We sure do, El!

Very zen, Elly.

You ‘stay-at-home’ moms make me sick. As long as you do your ‘work’ at home and take care of the family needs you should be able to go out and do something for your community with out feeling ‘guilty’. Take charge of your life and live.

HEY! This is going along with today’s “Pearls Before Swine”!

Jim in CT clearly isn’t a woman either — even today, you’re suppoesed to be all things to all people and available to everyone 24-7.

I remember when my two kids getting old enough time back to technical college to learn a job skill, little I know my son then would pull off stuff to get into trouble. Daughter did okay.

Makes ya think, doesn’t it?

Good one.

Whine, whine, whine.
