[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]

Wow, why so triggered by someone who is making life nice and peaceful and enriching for her kids? Isn't that what we all want, deep down?

Who doesn't want to come home to a welcoming mom at the door with a snack or a hot meal on the table at dinner time? What kid doesn't want to do multiple activities of their choice?[/quote]

I think this thread is ridiculous on both sides (nasty awful people in both groups), and I haven't posted in this thread. However, I thought about what you asked, and for me the answer is no. I wouldn't want someone welcoming me at the door with a hot meal who was supposed to be my partner. It doesn't feel right for me. I also wouldn't let my kids do whatever activity flitted across their minds (and haven't).

But that has nothing to do with the ridiculous hatred you ladies are spitting back and forth while people are dying.[/quote]
