[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:27, I don't equate people's worth with their income either.  I was making a point with an inflammatory remark.  I wrapped up a woman's decision to WOH in the most insulting way. Not because I really feel like WOHM are abandoning their children - but to serve as a rebuttal to the remarks made on this thread that seem to cast SAHM as backwards for making a choice to stay home.

My saying it is unfair to the kids to WOH - is like the PPs who said it is unfair to DH NOT to work. Casting WOH as selfish - like casting SAH as 1950s.....

Tyring to make a point is all.[/quote]

Well, when you are deliberately insulting you may be disrespectful in ways you do not intend.  You come across as an elitist bitch.  I have been a SAHM and I did not find any of the posts insulting towards SAHM.  I think your grasp of this discussion is weak and you are insecure about your choices.  Tired of people being bitchy on this forum and thinking they are effectively "making a point."    [/quote]

Agree completely.  The reference to 'minimum wage childcare workers' is disgusting.  The women who work at my son's daycare are loving and intelligent - and providing for their families.  I have infinitely more respect for them than I do for someone like you (referring of course to the PP who made the childcare workers comment, not the immediate PP).  I also think it's infinitely better for a child to be surrounded by people like them than spend all of his/her time with an elitish bitch like you.[/quote]

You guys really love to throw that b-word around a lot.  Anyway - I know this is going to probably sound like the recent Rush Limbaugh apology - but I really did not mean to belittle anyone with my comment about minimum wage workers. I'm sorry.

It is NO secret that in this country all of the great people who make it their profession to care for children are underpaid (child care workers, nannies, teachers) Do I think that makes them less than worthy?  No.  I was trying to make a point about what we say about each others choices - and am wondering WHY, still,  that WOH moms can say anything, but SAH must silently stand by our choice as to not offend anyone.... no one has addressed this - too busy with the nasty name calling.

you didn't mean to imply that they were worthy but underpaid.  give me a break.  you think you're better and more important to society than they are though objectively, they're outearning you.
WOH moms can say anything?  hve you read this board?  WOH moms are attacked often, as well.[/quote]

And by "outearning" me, they are "better and more important to society" than me, right?  Because I do not earn a paycheck, I am, in fact, beneath them?  So you are saying that they are beneath anyone who "outearns" them?  Who is the elitist?  Who is the one attaching personal worth to a paycheck?

I haven't seen a single attack on WOH on this thread.  Just the SAHM Donna Reeds.  No, have not read the entire forum.  [/quote]
