[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think one person has answered the question posed.[/quote]

No, because SAHMs are really defensive.  Blah, blah, blah...I do so much...whine whine whine.

Save it ladies, I do all the stuff you do and work 3/4 time.  I take my kids to school and to their activities. I help them with their homework.  I actually clean my own house.  And I love my job.  Lucky me. [/quote]

I would not be proud of that. I work, but I have other people take care of my house, meals, pick up the kids from preschool (if you work you can’t pick them up at 12:30 pm). Why are women proud of being martyrs? I chose to work partly because I could never (and would not be good at it) do what SAHMs do... I would Never be proud (or feel like) to have to do both things[/quote]

I'm not a martyr.  I just get shit done.  If you need help, that's fine for you, but don't try to knock me down for being more capable.  Or less susceptible to stress.  Or more efficient.  Or whatever it is that allows me to be happy and do more than you at the sa

Oh dear, I am not trying to put you down. You were trying to put down SAHM by saying that you do all that they do and on top of that you “work”. Not sure how you can have a FT job andtake your kids to activities unless they have them at 5-6pm. Anyway, you were trying to put other people down by saying that you do it all and therefore you win. Personally, I would never trade your “abilities” for doing it all, but I am glad you enjoy it (most people would not)[/quote]

I'm saying the SAHM moms are so defensive, that they try to justify their choice by intimating that a WOHM can't measure up in the mom dept.  Don't tell me they don't.

And I said "Lucky me", not "I win".  Interesting how many of you took it that way.  Your own biases are showing.  Don't put your nastiness on me.[/quote]
