[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can speak only for myself, but I dare say that the feisty comments from the working moms is reaction to OP's reference to "moms who wish they could be SAHMs."

I believe each family makes that decision based on what's best for the family. It has to do with complex number of factors surrounding resources, time, job flexibility, personalities, on and on.

I do not think that a SAHM is lesser of a person than a working mom or vice versa. For example, I've known smart researchers who took a break from their career because the cost of childcare is so high that it just does not make sense. And it doesn't all have to be about $$. If my child had special needs, I would certainly prioritize that over my job.

OP's comment had inherent bias and judgment, and that is what feedback she will get.

I also work in a male dominated field.
My colleagues and I get along well and work together well.
I've had male and female mentors, and in turn mentor males and females.
No chips on my shoulder.

Well if you are talking about SAHMs married to rich husbands who can hire nanny + house keeper and spend half the day at Barry’s boot camp, yes I admit I am jealous.
But if you live in avg house in an avg neighborhood and have to think twice about getting a $600 dress then I don’t wish to be you at all :)[/quote]
