This is absolutely a reasonable argument. Moms without very little education can run a household successfully. I just hope your DDs find life more interesting than you.

What about your DH? Genuinely curious to know what you think about his role in parenting?

No it is not a reasonable argument.

Not sure why you think the person that has a penis to spread his sperm has equal parenting skills as a person who was biologically intended for childrearing

This makes me sad. There is nothing wrong with being a SAHM, but to think that parents have such unequal parenting roles and that women are solely designed to bear children and not have careers is just sad. I guess if you were born in the 1800s you would be okay not voting? You don't seem supportive of the progression of women's rights.

I support women's rights. I just don't buy into the "dads can be as good as moms" fad. I have never known a child to want their father when they are sick or hurt. I doubt you have either.

There are already facilities for transgender "women" They're called men's rooms. Use the correct room for your anatomy.

Exactly. These men need a reality check. Feeling like a woman doesn't make you a woman.

If there is actually a debate wether men who want to be women should be allowed in spaces exclusively for women (the proper kind), then it's time to wind the whole thing back imo

Now I just feel sad for your DC. Frankly I feel bad for your whole family. My DC are happy with either parent when they are sick or hurt.

I also have a few single dad friends with full custody of their kids that disprove your theory. I'm sure it helps justify the importance of your position as a SAHM in your family though.

Ditto. My husband shares parenting duties and if he is the parent around, then DC runs to him when hurt. I feel sorry for the husbands and children of sahm that hold the reins so tightly that dad never forms a close bond with their kids.

Mine do a lot. I'm a SAHM but DH is a hands-on father. He loves it.

Are you serious? This is so sad. My kids see their father as an equal parent and would go to him if they're sick or hurt. Of course they would! He is their father! I'm so sorry you see your husband is just a paycheck and not an equal parenting partner. I would hope your children can rely on him. But I guess you don't want to let that go, because then your life is pointless. Poor kids!

When I hear that accusation, especially from a WOHM, it becomes crystal clear that there are some major insecurities at play. Why else would you make such judgmental and frankly, false, accusations about another person's life choices? Has it ever occurred to you that SAHMs could easily take on employment if they wished to, but they *choose not to*? I'm extremely organized, motivated, and intelligent - as are my other friends who are SAHMs. Your remarks just make you sound bitter and resentful. If you're so delighted with your life, then you shouldn't feel the need to knock down others who wouldn't be happy working outside the home. Right?"


"Choosing to be at home would make moms who would rather work martyrs."

Certainly. But moms who choose to be home because *that's what they want to do* aren't in any way martyrs. They'd rather be doing that than WOH. So good for them for following their bliss.

As long as they admit it, that's fine. MANY SAHMs do it mostly for themselves. And again, that's fine. But don't pretend it's to make a husband's life easier or enrich a child's.

You know, those things aren't mutually exclusive. I SAH because I want to and I enjoy it. But it is also true that my husband's life is easier and my child's life is enriched. And I'm happy about that. It's all good.

And most people aren't disagreeing with you on the reasons you SAH. However, my minority opinion of you is that you are lacking in some way. Either you are lazy, unintelligent, unmotivated, disorganized, a procrastinator, undisciplined, a stress case etc. All of the SAHMs I know, besides those with DC with very high level special needs or serious medical illnesses, have any combination of these traits.

You're right - that is a minority opinion and also extremely amusing. Clearly, you don't know the SAHMs I know, who make up a good percentage of the moms in my community. These are all very accomplished women who decided to leave their careers to SAH, some for a short time, others for much longer.

I'm sure you realize that you are lacking in some way - probably multiple ways - right? Do you really want to get into the many ways in which you are lacking? I thought educated, thoughtful people had put the mommy wars behind them. You must not fall into that category.
