Omg dcum is LOADED with bitter, angry, hateful working moms who constantly lash out at sahms. They are jealous. They pretend they aren't, but they are. There are a handful of working moms who don't care who works and who sah, but most of the wohm on dcum are bitter, jealous, and angry.

I stayed home until child started school and then started working part time. I still work part time and handle all of the stuff I did as a sahm, just not the same quality as I did when I was home. I'm currently looking to work full time, I imagine things will change when that happens. I'll need more help since I'll be working more hours outside the home. I see a lot of value in the work that sahms do. Especially the quality of childcare.[/quote]

Good for you. I'm glad that things have worked out for you. You know who else talks about the importance (including the economic importance) of child care and other caring work, paid as well as unpaid? Women's libbers -- aka feminists.[/quote]

I'm not sure what your point is. I'm definitely not a feminist, but I think the best thing for children is to be cared for by people who LOVE them, and most day care workers do not love the children that they are caring for. Not saying all day cares are bad, but leaving your children in a daycare center for 8-10 hours a day 5 days a week isn't a good thing either. [/quote]

My point is that it's feminists who push society to value the contributions of caregivers -- paid and unpaid. So if that's a goal you support, maybe you should reconsider about not being a feminist.[/quote]
