[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is an idiot. There is a reason why such idiots should not reproduce. Let her work to death. [/quote]

The idiots are the self-absorbed, selfish women are those that have children and then hire nannies to rear them because they care more about their jobs than they care about their children?  Yes, I am judging you.[/quote]

And we judge you right back. You have such a poor view of the profession of care giving. In your mind, what’s the difference between an elementary school teacher, that deserves respect and has expertise, and a care giver for a younger child that, I’d argue, is equally skilled and professional? The world works best when people do what their passions and interests dictate and society pays them an honest wage for it. I am proud of the high quality care my DD has had and [b]that she hasn’t staid home with an isolated SAH growing weirder and more dependent and childlike by the day.[/b] I’m proud that I make a multiple six figure salary and have for a decade now. I’m proud my husband values my job enough that he doesn’t push default parenting on me. I’m proud my daughter grows up knowing that women can be powerful financially and not just have a logo T-shirt about being “fierce”. And I’m proud of the care givers that give from their hearts daily and I gladly do whatever I can to show and advocate respect for them and higher wages. [/quote]

So the only two choices are to work outside the home or to be isolated at home becoming weird, dependent, and childlike? Every parent who chooses to make their occupation the care of their own children is isolated, weird, dependent, and childlike? Interesting view of the world.

For some people, yes.  Some people just shouldn’t stay home.  It’s not healthy for them or their child.[/quote]
