[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM who believes that WOH parents provide more value, generally, for society and that mothers who work outside the home usually set a better example for their daughters.  I stay home primarily to pursue my goal of achieving success as a poet -- nothing that anyone would consider useful.  I left what many would say was a great government career path, but I was never happy.  I derive boundless contentment from the writing and reading of literature every single day. When I do finally break into the literary establishment, and get a good teaching job, I will not give it up for a thousand children.  My kids do not need me in the home; my passion for Art does.[/quote]

[b] If you have a passion and you devote a meaningful amount of time to it, then that is Work and it’s a great example for your children. Same if you have a big garden that you spend a lot of time cultivating, or do a lot of home renovation (with your two hands). Unfortunately, most SAHMs with school-age kids have nothing meaningful in their lives except gym, Target runs, and PTA gossip. They are the pathetic ones.[/b][/quote]

Maybe you should frame all your DCUM posts so your kids can recognize your contribution to the world. Otherwise, how will they know?[/quote]

[b]They see me being a kick-ass professional. [/b]They know I’ve got more going on than DCUM! Do you? :-)[/quote]

NP. No, they don't. They don't see you working because you've outsourced them. They're at school and/or you've paid someone else to take care of them. And you're either trolling DCUM while you should be working or while you should be parenting. You don't sound kick ass at anything. [/quote]

Lol... pot calling the kettle black?

Anyway, I bow down to your life accomplishment of getting that 10% Target coupon and racing through the aisles cheering with your children in the shopping cart. We should all be so lucky to have our children witness our greatest accomplishments 😂[/quote]

Your greatest accomplishment is your internalized misogyny. Keep on mocking women for grocery shopping, pp. We know you're dying inside because your husband doesn't do shit at home and you're close to getting fired.[/quote]
