beetiger1)It's okay to go back to work because you like it, or because you miss problem solving with grownups, or because you don't want to ruin your career and think that being home longer will do that, or for any other of a host of reasons, but don't sit there in your $600,000 house and tell me that you "have to" go back to work and that I'm "so lucky I can afford to" stay home. You don't need an extra income to feed and clothe your family. You may possibly have overextended yourself so that you "need" the second income to maintain your lifestyle, but don't try to tell me that that wasn't a choice, and one you could likely change right now if you felt like it.
2)There are lots of good reasons to choose to feed your baby jarred food. Convenience, certainly, or the fact that it's harder to get organic produce around here of many of the types that are available in jarred organic food, or the fact that it's perfectly fine nutritionally. But saying that I "shouldn't really make baby food myself because if I get too busy later my baby won't take the jar stuff" is just wrong. You want not to offer your baby something that you actually think is superior so that she won't know any better? No wonder our culture is rapidly sliding toward the mediocre.
