[quote=Anonymous]I find it hard to believe this is a genuine question, but I'll bite.  It's a combination of trolls and insecurities.

If some thread by SAHMs really stuck to talking about their issues, things that really pertained just to their daily struggles, no WOHM I know would care.  Frankly, I don't know why some WOHMs even click on those threads in the first place.

That said, it usually starts when some troll (and I do think they are trolls and not the majority of SAHMs) makes the comment that alludes to SAHMs being better moms who care about their kids or how kids *need* a parent home with them or something of that nature.  Working moms have been hit with criticisms for decades.  Most of us struggle daily with the push-pull between being good at our jobs and being good parents.  If you admit this, the trolls will seize upon your insecurities to prove to you that you are a bad parent for working.

-OR- it starts when some troll makes negative comments about SAHMs to rile everyone up.

There probably are some working moms out there who are confident enough that they don't ever doubt there choices.  There are some SAHMs out there who are confident enough that they never doubt their choices.  But my guess is that most of us have some worry and insecurities about our choices and we don't take kindly to others attacking those very things we worry about.[/quote]
