[quote=Anonymous]Tiger mom, I support you as a WOHM.  What is reflected here is resentment or regret, pure and simple, from others whose sacrifices or careers have not yielded the rewards, fulfillment, or satisfaction they expected.

Like you, I have raised grown children who are very successful, and at work, or among the SAHMs at school, I have experience over the years different types of criticism.

At work it came in the form of passive-aggressive antagonism from colleagues who either did not have kids, or who resented my years of having to leave early or take sick days.  At school, it came in the form of parents who gave up their careers and resented that I, who did not, was the one with my kids going to Stanford and Columbia.  I will never forget the comment that our nanny must be so proud to have raised a Stanford grad.

People always get a little edgy when your kids do well, but do not take it personally.  Enjoy your job, and the fruits of your labor, which it appears that you do.[/quote]
