[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another happy, fulfilled SAHM here.

[b]I never had a career, though. [/b] I've known for a long time that I WANTED to be a SAHM, this despite my "feminist" mom trying to convince me that I should be a diplomat or something.

My kids are all in school now, but I still stay home.   I "justify it" by knowing that on teacher in service days, snow days, sick days, etc. I don't have to scramble for child care.   I just love on the first snow day of each year, watching the news stories about all the parents grumbling that they had to leave work early to pick up their kids for the early snow closing.
Also, I do  a lot of volunteer work in the schools.   A LOT of programs/events/etc. happen in school because of SAH parents volunteering.[/quote]

You never had a career.

That says it all, PP.

So while your tone is smug, it's also laughable, as most working parents who are reading your post are only thinking you were too goddamn dumb to succeed in any position.

You're not exactly a role model for kids now, are you?  [/quote]

Your tone is terribly smug. I am a SAHM, and I never had a career, either, though I worked several jobs that in a different economic climate might have become one. I also suffered debilitating depression with psychotic features in college, illness that rendered unfit for really competitive, high stress - what you'd deem "important," I'm assuming - work. Unlike OP I am not totally fulfilled as a SAHM, but I really do treasure my days with the kiddos. The time I get to spend with them means the world to me. If there were a part time job that engaged my brain and would cover child care, I would be all over it.

But why am I trying to reason with someone so nasty and insecure? Maybe you're too goddamn uncaring to be a decent mother to your kids. (Which for the rational WOHM is satire of PP's offensive post. I don't think there are any fundamental differences between kids who have SAH or WOH parents).[/quote]
