[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Nope, sorry - you're twisting that post to suit your own bias.  The post was asking why so many WOH parents seem to speak glowingly of their childcare providers yet dismissively of SAH parents.  Even when the childcare provider might not speak English well (or at all), they are still seen as more desirable for their children than simply having a parent take care of them.  We're still waiting for an answer, by the way.  And that observation has nothing to do with racism, though you can certainly try and spin it that way.  [/quote]

Because earning a professional living is seen by many as a higher and better use of a parent's time than opting out of the workforce for years.[/quote]

And there it is.  So incredibly sad.  I wonder what your children would think if they read your statement as adults.  How pathetic for them to hear that you find working to be a better use of your time than taking care of them.  Oh well - different strokes.[/quote]

WOHM's conveniently ignore this statement [/quote]

.... What about those of us who have to work to provide for our families? I mean, I feel like shit reading this thread and what you all must think of me. [/quote]

There's a big difference in HAVING to work and 'having' to work [/quote]

What's the difference?

And here's that hatred of working moms again. But someone a million pages back said women who stay at home once the kids are in school or women who have masters degrees but stay home are LAZY!!!11 so it's totally the same thing!!!!!!![/quote]
