[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This entire thread is off the rails. These are such polarizing posts. Most women fall in between the extremes presented here. Some want to be home but can’t afford it. Some can afford it and want to be home but worry about lost wages over the long term. Some want to be home and can afford it so they choose that path for a few years. Some women hate being home even when they think they’d enjoy it. Some women hate working and wish they could be home. Some women find it is necessary to be home longer than planned (or when they don’t wish to be) because their children have disabilities requiring a lot of appointments during the workday. Some women are married to men who support their wishes to stay home. Some are married to men who resent it. Some believe they are safe in their marriage only to be left with nothing. Some end up being lucky and having a great long marriage. In the real world, I know women from every path and fortunately they respect that the path they have chosen doesn’t always work for someone else’s family or make someone else happy. They are respectful. They don’t judge SAHMs as lazy. They don’t judge working moms as neglectful. I think some of the people posting here just like the stir the pot. [/quote]

You are leaving out the core issue which the strongly anti SAHM people are evading.  What is best for the children, esp when very young?  These are many women who were taught that being a SAHM  even for a few years is simply bad because it means the mom is "stupid" and "subservient." Or the man will cheat, leave her, and she won't have the ability to get her career back.  Being raised by Mom is better for kids, much, better, than being raised by strangers.  Except if Mom is mentally unstable.  There may be some self knowledge on the part if the ANTI SAHM Mom posters being expressed here [/quote]
