[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rather telling a single wohm can't say what she would say to her dc when they ask her why she choose to work [/quote] Are you kidding me with this? "Larla, adults have to work. We need money to provide for our families. Sometimes work is fulfilling, and sometimes it's unpleasant. But the bottom line is if we didn't have money we'd end up homeless or something. You'll work when you're an adult someday too." WOW, SO HARD. MUCH TELLING. [/quote] I thought you worked because you Had to use your big graduate degree. Why has the story changed now? [/quote] I don't have a big fancy graduate degree. I'm one of those poor folks who needs money to survive and my husband and I are roughly equal income earners. But if I did have one I don't see why that would change my answer? Families need money. Everyone needs money. Most of us get money through work. It really doesn't matter what ones education level is ... [/quote] Children need their mothers too, or has everyone forgotten about that in the fabulous shower of money all wohm's earn [/quote] You need to stop with this vicious hate of working moms. It's not a good look for SAHMs (even though I know most are not as hateful and spiteful as you) and it makes you seem incredibly uneducated as if you cannot fathom a woman can do anything beyond procreate. Of course children need their moms, but that doesn't mean a woman has to be around 24/7 to "be there" for her kids. Children need stability in their lives. For many, this can involve structured high quality childcare coupled with a mom and dad who spend quality time with their children mornings, evenings, and weekends. Children will not be harmed by having a loving nanny, daycare worker, grandparent helping care for them in addition to their parents. Not to mention, many working parents have flexible hours and ability to work from home nowadays, which allows us to have a career and be with out children for a large part of the day. And once kids are in school, it really shouldn't make a difference whether mom is working during the schools day or at home.[/quote] No, children need their mothers. It's a fact that's been [b]commonly known for centuries.[/b] Why can't you accept it and move on[/quote] For many centuries it was common for women to be considered property of their husbands. Historically, women have been unable to vote and it was believed that a woman could not be raped by her husband because he could force her to have sex at any time. Not sure I'd be using "centuries old" wisdom as a basis for how to raise my children. Thank goodness women have so many more options now whether it's SAH, work PT, work FT, work from home, etc. And I wonder what you think about homes with two moms. Should neither woman work? Or what about two dads? I bet you think that's "wrong" because kids need moms. Go spew your outdated nonsense elsewhere, PP.[/quote]
