[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]

Children who have working moms have their mothers.  I work 15 minutes from my kids' school. If they are sick or need something, I'm almost as close as I would be if I SAH. You're right, they are with me 75 minutes less than they would be if I SAH. I don't think that tiny amount of time, which disappears when the kids get to middle school and beyond, is worth giving up a whole career for.[/quote]
