Pence on working moms

[Anonymous]

Sorry to add on, but a lot of us are navigating this while our spouses are deployed, to war zones often. I can t hate on Pence vintage 1997 for this. Both parties could support working parents better. I'm.pretty sure this past administration had priorities but they weren't that, they were others.

More women are running for Congress and holding pubic office than ever before and those numbers are expected to rise. Our economy is not going to function if all moms drop out of the workforce, including whatever company your husband works for.

If you prefer not to work, great. But yes it is troubling when a politician, and one who may be VP, has these kinds of ill-informed musings. So is this going to be an excuse NOT to support working families? If the middle class is having trouble is he going to blame working moms as the reason for inertia? Has his thinking on this changed in 20 years? Because that has implications for us all.

Who's raising the little children? Broken-English immigrants?

And I feel really bad for you, so there's that.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Why would you feel bad for me or my kids? we have a great life. We do lots of amazing things together, but are also free to have downtime if we feel like it. I am free to take care of them if they are sick, I'm here for them when they want to learn, or need a hug, or go on adventures around town. We have time to run errands during the week so that weekends can be relaxing, and the kids aren't trapped in rhe same room 40 hours a week. Sure, I plan to go back to work when they start elementary school. But in the mean time, I think I'm the best daycare provider possible for them while they are babies. Do you really think your daycare provider loves your kid as much but as you do? Work can wait. There is no way I am leaving my kids in a daycare. If I had to, a nanny seems the best option. But daycare, no way. I don't think you should feel bad for me, My kids don't smell like some random other woman at the end of the day.

Crap. I knew I forgot to do something today.

Yeah, one of the things I like least about being a two professional family is that every time the kids get sick I just have to let them die and have a replacement kid.

Does that insult make you feel better about not earning an income?

You need to take a hard look at your privilege. Most families cannot afford a stay at home parent. My daughter turned out to be an amazing human, daycare and all. It's what we give, talk about and impart in the time we have. Instead of disparaging other families, push for help for working families.

Most families can't afford decent daycare, either. Hence, "The Hell of American Daycare".

Our daycare is quite wonderful. My eight year old loves to go back and visit old teachers there when we pick up her sibling.

Maybe you should STFU, mind your own business, get your facts straight, go jump in the river...you choose.

What a fucked up, creepy thing to say, PP.

My childcare providers love my kids - my mother, my SIL, and now my nanny of over 8 years whom we share with another family during certain times of the year. Our kids were raised with our friend's kids. And they've learned to be flexible.

You're a hostile bitch. That's all.

Wow. Would you say this to the face of a single mother working 2 jobs to keep a roof over her kids' homes? Talk about not acknowledging your privilege.

Enjoy your elastic waist pants.
