[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest Q, if you sah, do you feel your children have a superior childhood?[/quote]

actually yes. But I know the reality is that they have a superior childhood because my husband makes a lot of money. So that means private school, college is taken care of, we take them on fabulous vacations all over the world, they get private tennis, ski, swim, and music lessons, cool summer camps, all the tech they want, etc. [b]And they have a mom at home who greets them at the door, runs them around to activities, hosts the play dates, volunteers in their schools, makes a home cooked meal every night, makes sure the house is nice and tidy, keeps on top of their homework schedules, etc[/b].

I mean, yeah it's better. It's definitely better than what they had when I was working, which was a harried mom juggling too many balls.[/quote]

I hope you're not raising boys, because they'll be a real treat to be married to.  Or girls, for that matter, since then they'll think that's what they have to do.  [/quote]

This argument is totally ridiculous. They’ll do what they want to do and I’ll be happy that they’re happy. Who’s to say they’ll even want to have kids in an age of expected, terrible global warming anyway?

I’ve been a working mom and a SAHM and SAH is a nice extra to have. It makes our home life easier and nicer. My kids are having a better childhood for it. I’m sure your mileage varies but I don’t really care one way or the other.[/quote]

Well said. The sahm I know teach their children life skills including, but not limited to, laundry, cooking, shopping, cleaning, budgeting etc. My mother wah early in the morning and late at night throughout my childhood. In the daytime, she was essentially a sahm. She taught us everything we need to know. My brothers, sisters and I are all hands on parents and spouses. We all have the skills necessary to run a house and raise a family. [/quote]
