[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there people who truly believe that the presence in a meaningful way of a loving parent doesn’t matter? That is seriously messed up. Of course it matters. It matters a lot. You as a parent are not interchangeable for anyone else. That is not to say that you should be the ONLY person in their life, but it matters a lot and in ways that cannot be measured. [/quote]

Are there people who truly believe that working parents are [i]not[/i] loving and [i]not[/i] involved in their children's lives in a meaningful way?

Those of us who work are also raising our children. We are still primary caregivers and the kids know it.

I think there is a lot of value in being/having a SAHP. I would have preferred to stay home myself, but unlike everyone else on DCUM I am financially unable to do so. I have nothing but respect for SAH parenting, but seriously guys, just stop with the snide implications that working parents are not raising our own children and are harming their development. It's cruel, it's untrue, and it completely dismisses those of us who don't have the privilege of choice.[/quote]
