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

A resounding NO.  I’m not giving my kids anything that kids of two working parents don’t have.

But, I’m giving myself and my DH something: me, more time with my kids, and more space to care for myself, as I have a chronic medical issue that requires some extra attention. [b]And for DH, the ability to focus on his work[/b], and have our home and kids cared for.

But I hate that some WOH moms think SAH moms judge them. No, no, no. Not from me.[/quote]

Maybe I just don't understand this, but my husband and I both care way more about our kids than we do our work.  And honestly, I wouldn't want to be with a man who wanted to focus more on his work.  Then what's the point of having a family?  I feel superior to stay at home moms whose husbands are so focused on their work.  I think kids benefit from having both parents equally involved in their lives.  The whole dad comes up to say goodnight to them is distasteful to me.[/quote]

The real winners here in COVID, as always, are the dual working parent families where both are involved and invested in the day to day and have employers who are more flexible and get that. The paycheck dad and miserable SAHMs couples are the saddest, today and always.[/quote]
