[quote=Anonymous]wow, this thread has turned really ugly.  i agree that i find the jabs at SAH moms insulting. i have many friends who also SAH and none of them are lazy. how can you be lazy when you have 3 kids, you driving them around, making them meals, teaching them to read, taking them to the park and doing other "worthless" things like wiping their noses, giving them baths, reading to them, etc.

in fact, the SAH moms in this area have my respect. they are all educated, had careers, but decided to give it up to be with their kids.  doesn't mean that some of them aren't going back to work.  it was very very hard for me to give up a job to stay home with my kids but three years into it, i see the rewards and i don't have any regrets.

and for those who say SAH moms don't contribute to society are really clueless.  i spend majority of my free time doing work (unpaid) for a domestic violence organization and also take on probono cases for battered women.  my "free" time is usually when the kids are in bed at 9pm, so yes, my days are long.  many of my SAH mom also do similar things with their education, whether it's former teachers tutoring, or CPA's doing probono tax work for organizations.  i feel like i am contributing more to society now than when i was receiving a paycheck.
