[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never met a SAHM who cares if anyone else works or not. The number of WOHMs here, however, that invent weird narratives about SAHMs who live pitiful existences and are miserably married is truly remarkable. No one accused you of anything, but the hostile attacks on SAHMs reeks of mom guilt. [/quote]

+1. I see nastiness on both sides, but the vitriol from the working moms is on another level. Thinking sahms are worthless, don’t contribute to society, really? You have to have a deep sense of self hatred and raging jealousy to have such strong feelings about anyone else. [/quote]

+2 Completely agree, but I'll specify that it's vitriol I see on DCUM.  I never see these mommy wars in real life.  Maybe people just keep these vehement beliefs to themselves, or maybe it's a DC thing (I have moved away to a different area).[/quote]

I have been both. I think that on DCUM, nastiness from WOHMs has a slight edge in frequency. But the only time I have heard nasty and mean comments in person about working or not has been from SAHMs. For instance, when I was a SAHM, I left a playgroup because I didn't want to be part of the frequent catty comments about working moms that I heard. (I choose to believe that it is a small group of mean women perpetuating this on both sides; certainly none of my friends or family make comments like these.)

So nasty WOHM win DCUM, nasty SAHM win real life. Congratulations, ladies, in your races to the bottom.[/quote]
