[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The  implication in this thread is that staying at home is preferable to working and the women posting that they aren’t bored seem to be gloating about it.  So that is what is bringing out the venom from the working moms.  Maybe I should start a thread about how great it is to be a working mom and see how the SAHMs respond.[/quote]

I can’t image very many would respond at all. I have lots of friends who WOH. I’m amazed at their ability to juggle so much.

The only time I judge a WOHM is when she she spends 50+ hours a week away from her kids. I would say the same about a SAHM who was never with her kids. And I will admit to feeling strongly that babies and young children need to be with their mothers. When men carry a baby for nine months and are able to breastfeed, I’ll feel differently. Everything about the way we are designed makes it clear that it is not natural or healthy for a mother to spend hours and hours away from her baby. [/quote]

I had 50 hours of childcare per week for more than 10 years. I used about 47 of them regularly. When you don't have any family to give you a break and have a demanding career, it's necessary. My relationships with my now teens is just fine, and unlike you, didn't feel that I needed to cut back on my career.[/quote]
