[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3 year old is in preschool from 9-5pm five days a week.  I don't kid myself about who DC is spending the majority of their waking hours with.

Back when SAHMs were the norm, people would say the dad works while the mom raised the kids. Ok, so now that mom is working, who do you think is raising the kids?  It's not to say that the parental contribution is insignificant, but let's be real.[/quote]

lol SAHM has never been the norm [/quote]

are you high?[/quote]
DP. No...she's just not delusional enough to think that rich, white women were ever the norm in the US.[/quote]

Ok, so you're just willingly stupid. The percentage of women in the labor force didn't reach 50% until 1978.  That would mean the majority of women were not working until 1978.  SAHMs absolutely were the norm.  FFS.  Female empowerment doesn't mean rewriting history to align with your narrative.[/quote]

DP.  The idea of being a SAHP that we have now is vastly different than what was in the past before many women began working.  Ask your parents or grandparents what they did when they were kids during time they were not in school.  The vast majority were not spending one-on-one time with their parent.  They were running around the neighborhood with other kids while their parent (usually mom) was doing the housework and cooking.  Housework was more intensive then, because technology was different.  Cooking and housework took more time and weren't outsourced unless you were really rich.  So the idea that you have had this modern version of stay at home helicopter parenting is recent and different than most of human history.[/quote]
