[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The  implication in this thread is that staying at home is preferable to working and the women posting that they aren’t bored seem to be gloating about it.  So that is what is bringing out the venom from the working moms.  Maybe I should start a thread about how great it is to be a working mom and see how the SAHMs respond.[/quote]

You are on a thread directed to SAHMs.  The vast majority of SAHMs have [i]chosen[/i] to leave the workforce in order to be home with their children - either temporarily or permanently, or some combination of cycling in and out.  Of course people who have consciously made this decision feel it is preferable to WOH, or else they wouldn't have made it!  Just as the many women on DCUM who WOH love to tell us that they would never, could never, envision themselves as SAHMs.  Why?  Obviously, because they feel their choice is preferable.

Would it make you feel better about yourself to hear SAHMs say that they "hate" what they do and wish desperately that they were working?  I don't know any SAHM who feels that way.  I would certainly never say this because it isn't true.
