[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It means she can't stand not to have an important job to go to every day and think big, important thoughts that will save the world  :roll: Because don't you ever forget, she is WAY smarter and more important than you. You're barely in her range of sight from up there on her high horse.[/quote]

NP. I don't think this is it. I know many WOHM who say they would do it if they could still use their FT daycare. It's not that they loooooooove their jobs so much (most of them anyway). They're just scared of being with their kids on their own all day, every day.[/quote]

Not scared just find is boring and tedious after a few hours.  I like going to a place with other adults who respect me, listen to me etc.  Why bother with grad school if you don't intend to have a career?  I would never want to set that example for my daughter. Maybe if i had a boy it wouldn't matter. [/quote]

What a stupid remark.  I'm imagining the conversation between you and your daughter in later years:
Larla:  "Mom, why didn't you ever stay home with me when I was younger?"
You:  "Are you kidding me?  After going through grad school, you think I'd actually take [i]time out from work [/i]to (snicker) [b]stay home with my kid[/b]??  OMG, what a waste of time that would have been."
Larla:  "Oh."

I went to grad school, as did many of the SAHMs I know.  In fact, we all had very interesting jobs prior to having children.  Most of us will one day return to work, but for now, there is nothing more worthwhile or important to our families than having a parent at home.  And we'll absolutely encourage all our kids - girls and boys - to pursue as much education as they desire, regardless of what their future lives look like.  Why wouldn't we?  [/quote]
