[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been both a WOHM and a SAHM, and the vitriol spewed by the WOHMs is way worse. Not even close. [/quote]]

Who are these WOHMs?  Do they say things to your face or are you just referring to weirdos on these threads?  On this forum, there are weirdos on both sides. [/quote]

I am comparing how WOHMs talked about SAHMs when I worked v how SAHMs tales about WOHMs when I SAH. I think most of it was just insecurity with life decisions. All of the SAHMs I knew were rich ones with great educations and work history. These weren’t naive little girls with a power imbalance and husband giving a monthly allowance. [/quote]

I actually never heard much criticism at all of WOHMs. It was all, good for her. It is a tough thing to balance. [/quote]

This is interesting. I am the only WOHM on either side of my family, and nobody has told me i should quit, it's just thoughtless comments like "it must be so hard for the kids to have to rush out of the house every day" and "I could never pay someone else to raise my kids" where i don't even think they're talking about ME, they just fail to think about how hearing this stuff hurts.

On the other hand. the moms I work with and am friends with have never even mentioned SAHMs, much less insulted them. Homeschooling SAHMs do get some judgment, but they're not the norm. [/quote]
