[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - any news?

I don't get why this has become a flame war on SAH vs WOH.  This really doesn't seem to be about that but about communication in the marriage, and making unilateral decisions.[/quote]

Because SAH moms ON THIS THREAD (not universally) think their "calling" to be a wife and mother gives them the right to stop working without discussing it with their husbands and go so far as to call the man a loser/selfish for not being the "default" breadwinner.

This might be the 1st DCUM thread where a large group of women are defending the position of the man.[/quote]

I agree.  I think it's also making a lot of SAHMs nervous that their husbands might feel like OP.[/quote]

Yup.  Lots of well-reasoned WOHM points here.  This thread is a trainwreck for SAHMs.[/quote]

OMG, the echo chamber persists.  Almost laughable.[/quote]

There are about 5 posts in agreement on this page ALONE.  And they're not by the same person.  [/quote]

No secret that there is a anti-SAH pile on pretty much daily on the DCUM.  But seriously, what does it say about you if you think you've "won" the mommy wars on some random thread about marriage difficulties.[/quote]

Not in agreement like this. And you've posted 12 times in the past 15 minutes - no one else is using the term "mommy wars" - shouldn't you be fixing hubby his martini?[/quote]

To be fair, every other post here was along the lines of  "SAHMs are nervous that their husbands might feel like OP". All posted during the work hours, mind you. I am a working parent, but I am totally siding with SAHMs here.[/quote]
