[quote=Anonymous]The whole "on your death bed, you will not regret the time you spent with family, but will regret the time you spent working" line is such garbage.  It's like those inspirational sayings people with way too much time on their hands post on Pinterest (aka "last one to the finish line still beats the person sitting on the couch!").

It's such a privileged view along the lines of "do what you love."  Ummm I hate to break it to you, but you are able to spend time with family or do what you love on the backs of others who are working to keep society going.  If you have the means to SAH, then be grateful and show a little humility.  But realize that it is working moms who are teaching your children, running federal agencies you rely upon, ringing up your groceries, cutting your hair, giving you Pap smears, etc.

There is absolutely no need to make catty remarks about how these women have missed their kids' childhood, will regret working on their death bed, don't care about their family, etc.  Maybe be a little thankful that there are enough able bodied workers out there keeping things running so that you can SAH and do all the things you need to do on a regular basis.
