[quote=Anonymous]I am with my teens because it makes our lives easier. I am helping with car pooling and other logistics that the kids of other parents in the group cannot volunteer for.

I know some of you might think that I am offering free services to kids who have WOH parents etc, but I don't mind. Every single working parent would love to spend more time with their kids and friends, which instead I get to enjoy. Plus the emotional security that my kids get is priceless.

If I had to work to put food on the table or fund college and retirement...it would absolutely be a different situation. Having a sahm is a luxury. My family loves to have that luxury. And yes, some WOHMS work way harder and have a more stressful life, IMHO.

On the other hand, Wohms have bragging rights to having a career and earning money.  To imagine that any woman has it all is a fallacy. We all have our priorities. Being there for my kids is mine, meeting the basic needs of the kids could be that for someone else.

And, I do not have SN kids. I would never say something like, you should not sahm if you have "normal" kids!! That is not only completely PAB statement to make, but the truth is that there are sah and woh parents of SN and non-SN kids. So what? Live with the hand you are dealt with in the present day.

In my own personal situation, my and my family's life is better at the moment if I sahm. And all the PABs need to just STFU and live and let live. What is with all if this resentment??[/quote]
