[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for those of you who look down upon SAHMs:  Do you consider yourself a feminist? [/quote]

Not really.[/quote]

I do. That's why I find it so disturbing to see a generation of women choosing to give up their own lives to focus on their children. I see their energy and creativity and productivity wasted on bento boxes and halloween costumes and over-the-top birthday parties.

Honestly, it worries me that this country is losing so much vitality and gaining only a generation of coddled, helicoptered kids.[/quote]

Oh gosh, we wouldn't want you to be "disturbed." You consider SAHMs to be [b]"giving up"[/b] their lives to focus on their children... are you kidding me?  You're sitting in judgment of the many women who are doing exactly what they want to be doing?

This would be the perfect opening for someone to light into you about exactly what WOHMs are missing, but you probably know that and are just waiting for someone to rise to the bait so you can play the victim, whining about SAHMs attacking WOHMs.  The mommy wars just give you so much pleasure, don't they?  For most people I know, mommy wars are over.  But not you, apparently.  And you wonder why you and judgmental women like you come across as so clearly unhappy with your own lives.  If you were happy, why would you possibly feel the need to slam other women's choices?

You must be the poster who likes to throw out stereotypes of SAHMs (you know, the bratty, Starbucks loving one, etc.).  I've never used a bento box in my life and don't know anyone who does - but what would it matter anyhow?  And frankly, the only people I know who throw over-the-top birthday parties are those who are desperately trying to overcompensate for something.  Hmm, who could that be?

I posted the Starbucks comment. But I'm not the poster you're responding to. Methinks you're getting confused. [/quote]
