[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's kind of odd that a few of you choose to attack me and my relationship with my kids which I told you is close and just fine but perhaps you can't imagine such a thing?  I don't know, it's kind of pathetic though.  There are pages and pages of working moms with insulting, sarcastic and nasty comments toward the OP just for asking why they work, maybe your time would be better spent attacking them?  Because trust me, you are not hurting my feelings even a tiny bit.[/quote]

Lady, I have responded to you a few times and have not talked about your kids.  I am addressing only your posts here.  We are trying to get it through your thick skull that your posts are insulting and rude to working mothers.  You spout nonsense about daycare and guilt moms who don't, in your opinion, "sacrifice" enough to stay home with their kids.  You have this fantasy you've concocted to justify your hateful posts that moms are out there leaving their kids at daycare, because they want a fancy vacation more than spending time with their kids. Working mothers are not doing this.

The reason working mothers are responding as they are to this troll thread is that the entire premise is insulting and sexist.  Why are dads not subject to the same scrutiny?  Why is it assumed that only moms have to make decisions about whether to work or not?

MANY, MANY women work for the simple reason that they have to to support their families.  Period. And some moms work because they love their jobs, they feel they make a difference in the world, or whatever reason.  And why is it bad for a mom to enjoy working?  Who are you to tell her what is best for her, for her kids, for her family?  Each person has a unique story and unique motivations.  Your generalizations are ridiculous.

You need to stop and reflect.  When so many PPs tell you you are off base, it means you are NOT some lone voice of reason but instead that you are wrong and inappropriate.
