[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

15:45 again.  And I don't believe you. You keep coming back so this is definitely getting to you.  I wish you would stop being defensive and digging in further and reflect.   [/quote]

I keep coming back, you keep coming back.  Hmmm.

I probably won't come back when the few PPs who won't give up finally stop attacking me.  Huge double standard, it's okay for you to attack me but not okay for me to disagree with the choices of some working moms.  And BTW I didn't decide this question doesn't apply to dads, I think it does.  It was the OP who asked the original question, not me.

Just curious also why you think it's okay for so many PPs to be insulting and snarky to the OP but it's me you choose to jump on.  [/quote]

You’re not being jumped on. You’re being wrong. Loudly, repeatedly, and verifiably wrong.

When someone tells you 2+2 doesn’t equal five, they’re not hurting you. You can either learn that it equals four, or you can keep loudly insisting that it equals five. But when another person— and another, and another— tells you it equals four, you’re still not some kind of victim of the math Illuminati— you’re just another person who is wrong.[/quote]

[b]Well there's no arguing with that!  Your closed mindedness and singular focus that tells you that you are right and I am wrong is something you might want to examine.[/b]  Just because a few working moms on DCUM disagree with me means very little.  You may have noticed that most people are staying out of this discussion, it's mostly me and maybe two or three others.  That's because it's not as cut and dried in everyone's mind as you seem to think.  Many parents, new and otherwise, question whether the best thing for their children is daycare or parent care.  There are threads started on DCUM about that all the time.

[b]I notice you ignore all the many comments on this thread that are rude, insulting and nasty when addressing the OP's question[/b] Why do you work?  Is it really that hard to defend the decision without attacking?

Bunch of shrews! And I have no dog in this fight.[/quote]

Nope.  The shrews are people like the OP and the anti-daycare PP (and you, apparently) who criticize mothers for working and never say bupkiss about fathers working.  Sexist shrews.  You people have no leg to stand on here.  Bring your thinking into the 21st century.[/quote]

This.

If someone said that stay at home moms were undereducated and underdedicated, because some use their phones around their children and some are child abusers, they would get the same visceral reaction and correction that the anti daycare poster got.  Being wrong, and being told you’re wrong, does not mean you’re a victim.  That poster was given an excellent example of how to make a gracious apology earlier in the thread and chose to dig in on additional incorrect statements. She has no one to blame but herself.
