[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're never going to convince me that the bitter working women on here spewing hatred aren't somehow jealous. You only get angry and worked up like this if it somehow personally involves your emotions.

If they were truly, genuinely happy with their choices they wouldn't give a rat's ass about what someone else is doing. They *claim* to have better things to think about and yet this is how they choose to spend their time? Doesn't add up. I am a working mom and I know that I am jealous of people how have more money and will be spending their day today driving around in their BMW carefree on the way to barre class. Alas, I have a mortgage to pay.[/quote]

I don't feel jealous.   I could easily afford to stay home.  It does make me somewhat angry that women, especially women born into privilege, take up spaces in fancy colleges and grad schools to acquire education they never planned to use.  I also feel like women who stay home make it harder for working women - employers tend to assume they'll leave after pregnancy, etc.  My annoyance - can't even really call it anger - comes from bringing down women as a whole.  The idea of being wholly dependent on a man's salary, not to mention having my sons see me cooking and cleaning while daddy makes the money - makes me shudder.  YMMV.[/quote]
