[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2 graduate degrees,  education & biology.. Worked 15 years, stayed home with my kids for the past 12 years. I love being SAHM and I am definitely not bored.  My husband (and children) appreciate my efforts. I am very creative and love to cook,  and do many things DH doesn't particularly like to do, like plan vacations. I spend my time raising (and enjoying) my children and buidling a strong relationship with DH. The only thing I don't like is some of the working moms., particularly those that have asked me to pick-up their kids and then insinuate that I am lazy or stupid for being a SAHM.  [/quote]

Yep, only SAHMs  posted for first 4 response, and then this dig on working moms. Classy. [/quote]

If you'd read it closely then surely you'd understand she wasn't digging on working moms. She specifically mentioned working moms that tried to take advantage of her flexibility as a SAHM to pick up their children, and then also insinuated that she was lazy or stupid for being a SAHM. I can understand where she is coming from. The vast majority of women have never treated me any differently for being a SAHM but every now and then I do come across someone who thinks less of me and my intelligence and capabilities because I'm not "working" outside the house. That I'm either a dumb blonde, a trophy wife, or lazy, or all of the above. [/quote]

Exactly.  The PP specifically said, "SOME of the working moms."  Not sure how it could be clearer, but she obviously hit a nerve.  At any rate, I don't concern myself too much with people who get offended over an innocuous remark like that.  Not after reading all the very blatant insults to SAHMs here on this thread and on every other thread that even mentions a SAHM.  [/quote]
