I don't think I've ever made an unfair judgment about another family's thrift or need to be frugal or childcare choices. But if I have, please point it out so I can give an overdue apology. What I do fully admit to being judgy about are other bloggers' writing styles. Write about home economics, write about your growing tin foil ball that you've been working on since middle school but for love of Pete, make it just a tiny bit entertaining. No, frugality isn't terribly sexy, but I like a little zip to my reading. There are plenty of bloggers whose content isn't all that exciting, yet they bring a little something to the table. Dullness – and not a disdain for another's choices – is the reason I have chosen not to continue reading a particular blogger. (Who, by the way, doesn't even write about frugality all the time.)

I wouldn't blink an eye at your decision to do mother's day out. You have great reasons, and your family is thriving as a reault. Perhaps you'd give other bloggers the same benefit of the doubt, even when their situations seem not so pleasant to you. Thrift has never been a religion for us, but a challenging means to an end. --a colorless, grim, and schoolmarmish blogger Isn’t it awful how people criticize our choices, when we’re all just trying to do what’s best for our own families?
