[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so pretty typical. Someone starts a thread asking stay-at-home parents if they are happy so that she can make a decision for herself, and some bitter nasties come in and start attacking stay-at-home parents for answering the question.

I am a working mom and the only reason I came to this red was to see the train wreck that other working moms would make it. I wasn't disappointed[/quote]

I’ve been a full time working mom, a full time stay at home mom, and a part time working mom (but much closer to full time), so I have multiple perspectives on this and try not to take things personally. I definitely see the judgy comments about “why have kids if you aren’t going to parent themmmmm!!!” When a working mom posts about her and her spouse both having work travel or late night commitments or whatever, and those comments suck and make stay at home parents look really rude and backwards. But it really, honestly seems like there are MORE, as in a greater volume though probably not as overtly rude, sh*tty comments given toward stay at home moms. It’s sometimes disguised as concern trolling about your “finances” or “what if your husband leaves you what will you do then” or whatever, but it’s there. I really don’t get it. Can’t  people accept that what works for one person/family might not work for another one? [/quote]
