[quote=Anonymous]I know someone who is a SAHM and she wanted to be that her whole life. She would not be bothered by that comment bc it’s her value system, but she would put them in their place about saying it rudely.

I on the other hand like OP Did not set out going to college and getting advanced degrees to become an SAHM but due to some family issues I needed to do that. Then, I just never went back because my value at home was more for my particular family situation throughout the years.Having worked out of the home for so long and only finding my value in my work success-  it made me feel self-conscious about no longer working. Of course that is a ME problem, but if my child that hurtful things to like OP‘s child, it would definitely trigger me. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Humans don’t walk around being unbothered. We have emotions and sometimes we get triggered by things. We are evolving AND  the pitting Women against each other is just not helpful.

There are people who work full-time who find new meaning in their jobs and there’s people who work full-time who find a ton of meeting and their jobs. It’s the same for stay at home moms.

All of that being said, I can totally understand why my daughter who plays multiple sports, takes five AP classes this semester, works her butt off to get into a college, wonders why know why I “just” stay at home. But we have had discussions about this and why families have different needs.[/quote]
