[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many times a SAHM is bad for a child.  It makes them extremely clingy and they are used to 24-7 attention.  The moms often let them get away with murder and don’t do things like sleep train because they don’t have to be at work in the morning. I don’t think 10 hours a day of daycare is good for a kid either, but not convinced that SAHMs are any better.  I’d argue a mom working part time is best for a child.  [/quote]

I’d argue that SAHMs are less likely to let their children “get away with murder” because they actually have to be around them all day. Therefore, discipline is essential to make the job of being at home tolerable.  All of the non-disciplining parents I know have their kids in full-day school (whether the parent works or not). [/quote]

The SAHMs I know give in to their kids because they're tired and don't want to hear them whine, so the kids are technically getting away with murder.[/quote]

And the WOHMs give in to their kids because they feel guilty and don’t want to hear them whine, so the kids are technically getting away with murder. [/quote]

Ok, if that makes you feel better.[/quote]

I e also noticed that WOHM potty train way latter because there’s less incentive to try since someone else is with their kid all day. It’s also harder to notice the signs that your kid is ready when you don’t spend much time with them. Flame away. [/quote]

Despite your curious need to provoke people with the corny "Flame away" line, I don't really feel outraged by your opinion or the previous posts. I'm not offended by it because it's sounds so ignorant. If you're just here to pick fights, maybe you should spend more time with your kids, eh?

Any blanket statements about an entire demographic is ridiculous. I'm sure there are both SAHM and WOHM that don't discipline their children at all. Maybe those SAHM would still not discipline if they worked, and WOHM would still not discipline if they stayed at home. Sometimes it's just a personality thing. Let's stop generalizing about moms, daycares, and nannies. There's an anecdote or a personal experience that can prove or disprove any radical opinion. [/quote]
