[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't outsource my job as a parent. I was a SAHP until youngest entered K. I've worked part time since.

I'm glad a random person didn't raise them for 8-10 hours a day during their formative years.

You make SAHPs look awful.[/quote]

Why? She's just stating her perspective! [/quote]

I'm a SAHM and I'm not so stupid as to thing some "random" person is "raising" working parents children.

I actually have a MS in psychology and a child's chief influencer is his parents. Period. The end. Working parents are raising their children and they put a lot of thought into quality childcare. They don't pick up day laborers from the street.

The poster is idiotic and a sad miserable person. It is her children I feel sorry for. Not the working parents. And yes said poster is a woman and an embarrassment to women as well.

I have a lot of friends who work and they are great mothers and fathers and care deeply for their children and are doing what works well for their families and I will bet the farm that their children will have just as much of a chance to grow up healthy and happly as mine do.

Frankly, I shouldn't have even responded and given any merit to such a fuck tard troll.
That poster is sickening and an embarrassment to SAHPs. [/quote]

But do you know the difference between thing and think?

Ooooh you caught a typo!! Good one!!!!!

PP, I agree with you.  IME, the only people who are so critical of other families are the ones who feel some guilt/shame about their own situation.  Maybe they feel guilty for not using their degrees, or they couldn't get a job that would make working worthwhile.  On the flip side, there are WOHPs who feel guilty about the amount of time they spend at work.

Parents who are just trying to do what's best for their family don't go around evaluating what is best for other families.  I have friends who work PT, FT, SAH, etc., and I don't waste my time thinking about whether they are screwing over their children or their careers.  They all seem happy and their kids are happy.
