Which probably says a lot about why you are home and not in the workforce.

Totally agree. Why encourage your DD to excel academically if her highest goal should be simply to reproduce? Focus on the boys. They have to get jobs someday.

You help all of your kids do their best so that they have choices. Just because I stay at home and it was the right decision for me doesn't mean that I will choose that decision for my daughter. My daughter will make her own decision about work/children when the time comes someday.

And the goal of education is to become learned, to gain knowledge. I think it is dumb that people think the goal of education is just to get a job. People should gain knowledge to widen their fields of opportunity and choice, not just to make you feel like they are worthy. How stupid. I WOH and have been a SAHM, my education taught me that I can do whatever the hell I want.

However well meaning, they usually are not doing a very good job in helping the kids form a cultural identity. Going to culture camp once a year, and putting some artwork in the kid's room just aren't enough.

So the kids would be better off wherever they were before adoption?

I know a number of white families that have adopted kids of other races, and the kids are absolutely thriving.

In some cases, yes they would. Also, in many places, there are local families willing and able to adopt the children, but Americans (agencies and adoptive parents) are more lucrative avenues for orphanages and corrupt local officials. and there are many ways to thrive. Lots of transracial adoptees get great grades and are polite, high achievers. It doesn't mean they feel happy, safe or whole.

they use them way too much EVERYWHERE. It is disturbing, really.

But, I also think people talking loudly on cell phones in public places should be called out on it. You're a jackass. And no, I don't have to respect your privacy - you're in a public place making a personal call. There are ways to make it more private and you know it. Don't act like you're so taken aback by someone hearing your conversation at the mall food court. Or on a public bus.

I've done all 3 - SAHM, WOHM, WFHM. I don't see this as hypocrisy. When I was a SAHM, I had already had a good career. I decided to devote some time to my kids, both for my sanity sake and the well being of my family. Regardless of the parent's work status, a good parent helps their kids do well in school.

Do you have this same opinion of SAHD? I guess your opinion of SAHD is that they are losers.

Why? Do you think all SAHMs want their daughters to stay at home? I want my children to do what makes the most sense for their family. And because I have no idea what that will be, of course I want my children to be educated. I have zero desire to foreclose any opportunities for my children. I know my parents are very happy that I have a college and law degree even though I don't practice right now. My husband also likes it.

I hate Florida and think most people who grew up there are crazy. I look down on people who move there.

You certainly don't sound educated, but whatever.

The goal of education is not only to gain knowledge, but to use that knowledge as a productive member of society. If I were a high school aged daughter of a SAHM who pushed me academically, I'd tell her to look in the mirror.
