[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Your wild rant aside, on both sides people tend to pick on folks at the fringes, and suggest that EVERYONE is like that person. It's the workaholic, materialistic, negligent parent on one side and the gold-digger, gym-rat, negligent parent on the other (the angriest of these folks are usually thinking of their own mothers). No one can pretend those extremes don't exist. However, when a poster acts like everyone is one of those extremes, it triggers a response, because most people know that the reality for women is far from those extremes. Most working moms are in a household where both parents have to work to make ends meet, and they do their best to maximize their schedules to be with the kids as much as possible and they ensure that the kids are well cared for by a responsible adult until they are old enough to be independent. Most homes with SAHPs have one earner who can sustain the family lifestyle, or used to have two earners who saved a lot, or have family money, and the SAHP worked before kids and may work after kids. Most of these women are doing work of value to the community without pay at some point while at home (and have never done yoga in their lives).

I agree with this. I SAH and have a high earning husband and trust fund. This works for us. I have friends who work and friends who SAH and I respect them all equally.

But, I do do yoga. Why is yoga getting so much hate? When you are home with little kids all day an hour of peace and calm is a pretty great thing. [/quote]

I don't get the yoga hate either (WOHM here).

It's just a stupid reference to the idea of some losers out there that SAHMs don't do anything all day (except work out...insert whatever here).  Ignore those losers!  [/quote]
