Im sure the average SAHM does tons of gardening and handyman work.
No one employs a handyman.
And most WOHMs don't work those hours.
Yeah, you fail.

I am SAH. I hire someone if my husband has no time. You do NOT want me working on your house. I have no mechanical skill

Wait. I thought wohms did everything sahms did while earning an income

Other than actually physically watching my child while I am working, this WOHM does do everything else.

But maybe the only difference is I absolutely don't give a crap what other people (SAHM/WOHM) do/don't do. Not my concern.

Slut shaming is a legitimate form of social control

Do all the militant stay at home moms/dads live in this area? I hardly know any families that don't have two working parents. Do you have the same level of hatred and vitriol toward your two working parent neighbors or your kids classmates? And in your ideal world, would all families have one stay at home parent, and would that be permanently or just until elementary school? What about if the working partner works long hours, is that ok or is having kids only for those who can support a family on one income where the income earner works 9-5 with a 20 minute max commute?

Clearly, you haven't read this entire thread. The "mommy wars" started here because of some militant WOHMs hurling insults at SAHMs. Maybe you should back it up and take a look at the "hatred and vitriol" directed toward SAHMs before they started defending themselves.

Either way, you're late to the party. We pretty much established that it's no one's concern what one does with their time, whether they SAH or WOH. The mommy wars are over, except for those who are deeply insecure about their own life choices.

I thought the SNL skit making fun on leaving to fight for ISIS was pretty funny.

If I ever hear someone in real life use the word "vitriol" I will know is it a DCUM poster.

We should not allow AA's to play the race card anymore

I think that most infertile people are infertile for a reason, and they should not push the issue. It's just a natural selection, and some genes just don't mean to be reproduced. I have not yet met a good parent of artificially created child.

Ok--you go ahead and stop them.

Curious, why do have this opinion? Is it because racism is over?

Define "good parent." There are plenty of drug abusers, sexual predators, violent criminals that are fertile. I guess you think they are "good parents" and their "genes are meant to reproduce." Congrats you are fertile but your "thinking" is wrong.
