[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newsflash: Raising kids is a contribution to society.[/quote]
Of course it is, but let's not be thick here. My kids pediatrician is a mom, and her work as a physician is contributing to society in a way that is different Han her raising her own kids. [/quote]

This is a ridiculous argument.  I am a woh, but can think of many ways that sah moms in my community have benefitted my kids, not just their own—by volunteering at school, planning the big fundraiser, and leading a Brownie troop,

Anyone arguing that being a sah or being a woh has more intrinsic value just looks overly defensive  and foolish.

If you are truly happy with your own choices, why post about how much better (or more “valuable”) that makes you than someone else?  That is the territory of the insecure.[/quote]

All those volunteer activities can and are done by both SAH and WOH moms (and dads).[/quote]

If you are not a troll, you have zero self awareness, zero.   You might benefit from counseling to address your pathological resentment (jealousy) of sah moms.

Personally, I don’t know any woh moms leading after school Brownie or volunteering at the school  three times a week.  I certainly don’t have time for it, and I work a 40 hour week as a government attorney.  My guess is you don’t do these things either,[/quote]

I used to lead a Brownie troop. I also work on the administration and finance committee of my church. I do volunteer at school, but not three times a week. I like to let the SAHMs who can find childcare help out :-)[/quote]

This isn't anything to brag about.  Volunteering = unpaid labor.  I hate seeing SAHMs volunteer because it means they are doing so much work at home and for the charity for $0 pay.  How many men do you think would willingly sign up for that?   We need to STOP doing unpaid work for men.  Half of these charities have highpaid execs and are pretty much businesses anyway.  [/quote]

Ah yes, you again.  You just love these threads,  don't you?  [/quote]
