[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stay at home moms who push their daughters academically are hypocrites.

How so?  You have no idea what they've done academically/professionally before AND after being a SAHM. [/quote]

Seriously.  The PP's statement just made me laugh.  Among my circle of SAHMs are graduates of Brown, Cornell, Yale, Davidson, UMichigan, and Chapel Hill, and myriad great state universities, to name just a few.  These women were Big Law attorneys, Wall St. analysts, marketing execs, psychologists, and architects.  They are now Girl Scout leaders and volunteers, among other things.  One thing we all have in common: we decided to lean OUT in order to take care of our children.  Will we one day return to the workforce?  Sure.  But we're all big believers in sequencing, and for right now, being home with our kids is where we want to be.  Hopefully our daughters will do well in school too and one day be able to make these choices for themselves too.  Isn't that what feminism is all about - choices?  As for the PP who insists that SAHMs either aren't educated or are wasting their education - that just speaks volumes about your own level of education.  You're truly showing your ignorance.[/quote]

Why aren't you able to do both?  Once your kids are in school you are just being lazy then.[/quote]
