[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am absolutely shocked by the SAHM hating posts. "Lazy", "living off another person's dime," "insufferable"? 
My spouse and I will make decisions based on our families' needs and you will make yours. We will all work hard and do the best we can. Some of us will teach our children to treat others with kindness and respect. The haters will teach hate. 
I hope my kids don't cross paths with yours

Do you not see the language directed towards WOHMs, not to mention at childcare providers?[/quote]

Really??????? No, I don't see it. (Not pp)[/quote]

Just from this page:
[i] the mom who palms her dc off to virtual strangers for most of their waking hours[/i][/quote]

Let's include the whole quote you just pulled that from so we aren't taking these words out of context. Don't be lazy, pp.[/quote]

Sorry, the rest talked about how bad it is to leave your kids with a person who doesn't speak English well.  You know, hardworking women providing for their families.  Really reflects well on SAHMs, that poster.[/quote]

Since you are too lazy, I will show the quote you are summarizing:

[b]I would say the opposite. It takes a lot of strength and courage to rely completely on a single income and to deal with babies and toddlers for months on end. This is the "lazy" choice, not [u]the mom who palms her dc off to virtual strangers for most of their waking hours[/u][/b]  :roll:

Pp, show me where, in this ENTIRE quote, it talks about [i]how bad it is to leave your kids with a person who doesn't speak English well[/i]?[/quote]

You're right. That was a different poster agreeing with the first.[/quote]

Just so we are clear, the poster that we are both quoting did not post in response to the poster who said people leave their children with people who barely speak English. She posted and then others responded and someone responded about others not speaking English.

And a question for you, pp. Can we agree that there is A LOT more hate for SAHMs than there is for WOHM? And remember, when you are sending your child to day care, the nanny, the babysitter, or whatever, you are PAYING that person to take care of your child/ren, so that qualifies this work (caring for a child/ren) as a job. Just because some mothers stay home and don't pay for someone else to do it, doesn't mean it isn't work/a job to be a SAHM. Some families feel it isn't cost effective to pay someone for childcare, OR they would just rather not because they want to keep their children at home. In my case, my child was born with health problems and he needed me to stay home and take care of him. So I find it very hurtful when people are so disdainful towards SAHMs. I don't judge working mothers, and I am often there to help them out when they need someone. I would hate to think that any of my friends that are working mothers are secretly judging me the way some of you are here on DCUM.[/quote]

Being with your own kids is not and never will be a job.  It is your responsibility.  I pay other people because my DC are not their responsibility.  Big difference.  [/quote]
