[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The saddest part about this thread is that some of the SAHMs who are so intent on making WOHM feel bad about themselves have daughters of their own, and will teach these daughters that [b]they cannot both have a fulfilling career and be a good mom[/b]. Such a false choice. And when some of these daughters do try to maintain careers they've worked their entire lives for and also have children, these women will do their best make them feel awful about it. [/quote]

They can't. These are mutually exclusive goals.[/quote]
Depends if the young children are getting cared for by someone who is competent, loving and stable. It's usually impossible to get stability if it's not a parent or other family member.

Enough with the mother vs. father!
It doesn't much matter.[/quote]

Thank you for this completely unsupported opinion. [/quote]
Which opinion don't you like?[/quote]

That you are de facto a bad mom if your kids are cared for during work hours by someone other than a parent or other family member. That's what you said, right? Good mom = stable environment, and stable environment = parent or family member. Ridiculous.

I know tons of kids who grew up going to day cares. Most are doing great. Some are not. I also know tons of people who grew up with SAHMs. Most are doing great, some are not. There is absolutely no difference. And also, many of the day care kids had much more "stable" home lives than some of the kids with SAHMs. [/quote]
Please reread what I wrote.

If the caregiver is 
COMPETENT
LOVING
STABLE
it's fine.

Hence, "The Hell of American Daycare."

No such research documenting the hell of the American SAHM.
And no, I am not a SAHM.
