I don't think that it is the actions that imply so much as what we Tashmere - 20/04/2004 01:39:04 PM

infer from them.

I don't care what others say. I say it is an unhealthy attitude that such actions imply.

Now if you go back to what Alanna said under her reply to me earlier marked "In all fairness". Maybe things were not what she (Alanna) first assumed they were. She looked at the situation from another angle that seemed more likely than the first.

When the child is born, that is a special time. When you are in labor getting your mind off the pain is good. You want to do that. I played trivial pursuit the last hour before I had my last child. Does that make me a bad mother? Is she a worse mother than I was because she accomplished something productive?

Another thing. I went to work while I was in labor with the last one and worked until the pains were 7 minutes apart. Why? Because if I didn't know that the pains would go away the minute I told everyone I was off to have my baby. I didn't have that much sick leave or vacation time that I could waste what I did have on what might be a false alarm. I saved what I had for when I would really need it after the baby was born. Maybe that woman was getting her work out of the way while she still could so she could just concentrate on the baby once it was born.
If we don't know that she charged the client, and Alanna said that she didn't really know that the woman had, then who are we to judge what she did?
