I'm also a working mom but I think if you are getting your perception of what sahms are like from this board -- well that's your problem right there. I mean literally in the last two pages of this thread there is a working mom claiming that a mom without a degree in early childhood education is not really qualified to take care of a 2 year old. [b]I'm sorry but that is transparently a woman trying to argue that childcare is superior to a sahm in order to justify her own choices[/b]. This cuts both ways.

I know plenty of sahms who did it because they wanted to and are happy with their choice because it's the lifestyle they want. As a working mom I can say that I see one of the biggest advantaged to having a sahp of any gender at home is just logistical -- dual income families are tricky to navigate and the idea of having someone at home who can just keep the ship on course would be a life upgrade for me. We just honestly cannot afford it and also I think I'd have a hard time not working from a mental health standpoint. But not everyone is like me and other families make other choices and that's fine.

Anyway [b]you're comment is unnecessarily judgmental[/b] and will probably make some sahms feel the need to justify their own choices by for instance claiming that kids with sahms do better. And those comments will no doubt prompt peopel like the PP to claim that actually sahms are inferior to paid childcare workers. And so on and so on. Neither "side" can claim that they alone have figured it out and won the "best moms" award and for some reason this conflict persists. But you aren't helping. You are contributing to the problem.[/quote]
