Had a law career and was SAHM. SAHM is much much harder (and I had a full time domestic help who cleaned, cooked and did all laundry and some cooking). If you find it is comical, you've never been a mom.

You are beyond lazy.

Aren't you a charmer. Sorry being a SAHM didn't work out for you. Clearly, you weren't cut out for it.

That is quite a sweeping generalization. You sound like an ass.

I would say the opposite. It takes a lot of strength and courage to rely completely on a single income and to deal with babies and toddlers for months on end. This is the "lazy" choice, not the mom who palms her dc off to virtual strangers for most of their waking hours

I always wondered about that.. The SAHM haters on DCUM.. Do they also hate the people who are taking care of their kids? They are "above" staying home with their children, so they find childcare for them, but do they respect the people that are doing this job? And if they do respect them, why do they deserve your respect above mothers who stay home instead of paying somebody else to take care of them while they go to work?

My seemingly minority opinion is that instead of engaging in the mommy wars, we should work together to make this a better world for women. We should work on having men act as partners instead of helpers and work together so our daughters don't face the challenges we do.

Just because a person has a vagina does not mean they are instantly in a club with other vagina possessors. We don't expect men to support other men, american's don't support americans etc

PP, I have always wondered this too. The people who have such derision for SAHMs must then feel the same deep lack of respect for their own childcare providers, right? I hear people raving about this nanny, or that daycare, but then mocking the mother who stays home to care for her own kids. A lot of men do this too - look down their noses at SAHMs but brag that they have an au pair or full-time nanny (who barely speaks English). So incredibly hypocritical, but I guess the irony is lost on them.

Are you joking? I am saying that INSTEAD of fighting with each other about whether being a SAHM or working mom is better/harder, we should spend that energy supporting each other. Men absolutely DO support each other. I work in a male dominated industry and notice this all the time. Men don't put each other down for their choice to work or stay home, so why should women? Americans SHOULD support each other and should support their country.

Women in undeveloped nations do not develp anorexia. I think the women should undergo treatment that includes volunteer work and takes the focus off of themself. My sister-in-law had anorexia and everything seemed about her. I never recall her helping others. She still does anything to get attention and for many reasons, it plain awful towards others. The woman needs to volunteer and give back. These anorexics need to learn how fortunate they are to have frown up in a home where there is a meal on the table, healthcare, clothing, etc. They should be ashamed of themselves for not eating when so many people would kill to have the opportunities they do.

Wow. Its a disease. 75% of those hospitalized DIE from it.

Ha! Yes, it takes so much "courage" to let another person support you. And taking care of little ones is so hard? Then a) get a job or b) have some respect for the professionals who do it as a career.

Ugh. SAHMs are insufferable.

Huh? I went to a big 3, have plenty of money, and am choosing to send my kids to public. I don't need a big law DH - I need an equal parenting partner , which I have. I think you all have a daddy complex and need to learn to stand on your own 2 feet.

Are you kidding? The majority of women who are anti-SAHM think it is important that a woman be an equal
partner and provide financially for her family. You know, like the childcare providers who do it as a career. I really find it unbelievable you don't understand that, but I guess your education is wasted that's not surprising.

Wow. I'd much rather have a loving childcare provider, whether English is her first language or not, take care of my kids than some judgmental, living-off-another's dime, racist bitch like you. You're so nasty and I bet you can't even see it. Revolting.
