[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We all realize of course that this is a conversation of women of privilege.  We live in this rarified educated world of choices: "It's MY choice to stay home"... "It's MY choice to work"....

"Bringing home a paycheck" is not just for a "sense of accomplishment" as a PP stated.   For many women it's to keep a roof over her family's head and food on the table.

Gimme a break.   The sanctimonious attitudes from both sides is ridiculous.  Realize that most people don't live in this world.[/quote]

I agree that it is a privilege to stay home, but I disagree that it's only women of privilege who stay home.  My husband and I have made serious sacrifices in our lifestyle and saved saved saved to an extreme for every month of my staying home.  I worked 15 hour days while I was pregnant to give myself an opportunity to stay home longer than maternity leave would allow.  It is a choice.  For some, it's an easier choice to make than for others, but it's not fair to characterize all SAHM as women of privilege.  Having said that, I agree with you that both sides on this thread are being defensive and judgmental, which is just ignorant. [/quote]
