MTs are always complaining of not being seen as professionals

and by posting the above, do you think this helps? Working in your robe, PJs, etc. We complain about wages, the hours people expect us to work, just overall bad working conditions but especially being as most of us work from home, not having our jobs taken seriously. The above posts tend to confirm what others want to think.

We are professionals sm
She reminds me of an animal run over by a vehicle and clinging to life in the gutter. Would I pick her up, take her to the nearest place to bring her back to life? Yes, I would, even if she bit me. Of course, the children will always suffer for the behavior of their parents, but there but for God's grace go I. I refuse to judge her or taunt her as the paparazzi and the public all over the world have made her life a living hell. She hates herself, that's for sure. She has a very long road to hoe and I am not going to kick dirt in her face, regardless. I do not have a gang mentality and I refuse to punish her, she has punished herself. Here's hoping she can be "repaired." She will always be cracked and chipped but hopefully she can come back and help others who have chosen her path of self-destruction. Her poor kids will never forget - that's something they as well will have to carry, their Mom's face plastered everywhere in every uncompromising situation one could imagine, and it will never go away, people won't let it, they love trash talk and it "sells." We hear it every day, cancer, miscarriages, treacherous situations, sometimes nature, sometimes not, self-destruction by those who are mentally impaired. Who are we to judge? Let's accentuate a positive hope for recovery and the chance to redeem herself for her own good and her children's. God doesn't make "trash." IMHO. 
We want to be looked at as professionals but
and just to say this post might be deleted but at least I have put down what I think. There are so many posts on her where MTs have lost the luster that we once had. I worked out of the home for 30+ years so it is a real privilege for me to have a job now that I don't have to leave home plus put up with traffic, plus put up with supervisors standing close by, plus office games others play and I could go on and on. I see posts on here on a very regular basis about how to tend to kids, how to really have a schedule, fitting time in for the laundry, etc. As long as MTs come across like this, how do you think the work force feels when they hear this? I went into this because I loved medicine and was above par typist and have made a really good living doing this. I have put aside all else while working, inhouse or out. When I have certain hours, unless dire emergency, those are what I work. I do not answer the phone, chit-chat with neighbors, take care of ironing, nothing else. I put my mind on my work and others should do the same. Working at home is a real privilege, not something to be taken advantage of.
Okay - I'm not complaining now
Sounds like you got it worse than me, so no complaints here. Just can't wait for school to start up. Usually after this kid is acting up DH wants to discuss looking for another place to live (we're renters). I ask him where. I said where are we gonna go to be assured of some peace and quiet. The areas close by that are country areas (like where I grew up (boonies I call them), are being overrun with druggies/meth heads. Police in our county are being cut back (no funding). So this town at least is a little safer, but all in all most of our neighbors are quiet and the kid only acts up for maybe an hour then he's off to something else. Wish the parents would send him to some day camp type thing when they work though. Just the other day he and his brother were playing in their pool (its a very very small pool (above ground - and not big enough to swim in, just more like sit in it (water comes up to just the knees on them), anyway...he kept egging their dog on saying come on barkly, come on, jump in jump in. Well the dog did and and then we heard a pop and the kid say "oh barkley I can't believe it, you tore the pool". My DH and I gave each other the "high five" (is that bad or what), but then we heard the kid say to his parents "Barkly busted the pool. I don't know why he came over to the pool. It's barkleys fault". We felt so bad for the dog and thought about how we could "innocently" talk to them and say something about "too bad your bratty unruly kid was egging the dog on having him jump in and out of the pool". :-) We just stay out of it.
Anyway...I'll bet you can't wait to move back to your place in the country. Your neighorhood kids sound like they need to be in juvee hall, so I won't be complaining about the brat next door anymore. Hopefully you'll get to move soon.
I feel like such a bad DIL complaining,
My MIL just called to tell me about a food chopper in a magazine that she was going to order and wanted to know if I wanted one. Then we talked about my taking my son to get his sports physical and I mentioned that I hopped it didn't take to long so I would be out in time to pick up my daughter from school, and she volunteered to get her if I couldn't. She really is a great lady in many many ways. BTW, she also has a huge collection of Boyd's Bears. Luckily she has't tried to give me more than one (becasue it's name is Kyle, the same as my hubby's.)
Probably knew you'd be complaining about it
I'd say he expected you to carp on him about it, maybe because he really wanted it and figured you wouldn't, and that you'd complain about it, about the price, not really needing it, whatever. I'd love it if my hubby brought home a nice new TV.
You should be complaining to the school..
Our SENIORS in high school were complaining at least 3 years ago about how much they hated the fact that they couldn't even have a single soda all year in school. Our vending machines only have sandwiches, lowfat pretzels, baked chips, juice and Propel (the Gatorade water). I think your school needs to be making some better choices.
Is you dad complaining, or is he happy about this? My mother in law
did the same thing. When my father in law died, he left her 4 million dollars and nothing to his 2 kids or grandchildren. If you dad is not happy about it, then confront her, make a scene, get rid of her SOON. Heck make one anyway so she knows you're watching her.
Because I choose not too...I am not complaining, just said it would be easier.
