[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I truly think and hope it is not the case that "Any implication that SAHM/full time moms provide value to their families is personally offensive" to WOHMs.

But some of the posts here really do seem to come down to the message to SAHMs that they have no value. :([/quote]

I don't think anyone's saying they have no value.  I think people are saying the term 'full time mom' is silly.

Anyone who is a mom is a mom full-time.  Doesn't matter if she's with her kids physically or not.[/quote]

It doesn't mean you stop being a mother, it just means that you aren't parenting full time. Just like if you are a lawyer, you aren't acting as a lawyer 24/7 but you are still a lawyer all the time. Full time parent just means that during the time that working parents are at their jobs, the full time parents are at home parenting.

It isn't valuing or devaluing anything. It isn't rocket science. If you are at home parenting, then you aren't at a paid job, and if you are at a paid job then you aren't a home parenting. [/quote]
