The one thing happy SAHMs that I know have in common is no matter how intelligent or well educated, they don't have a strong professional drive.[/quote]
Does this mean that high professional drive women don't have high drive to become mothers? If so, then why do they have kids?[/quote]
See, inferences like these are what make people think that stay at home moms aren't very smart. How exactly does your statement follow from hers, logically?[/quote]

Not the PP, but you must be joking.  The question is absolutely relevant, especially if we're to entertain the first statement, that SAHMs "don't have a strong professional drive."

I realize that it must be difficult to process the second question because it clearly hit a nerve (especially if you're the mom who had 50 hours/week of childcare).  But try reading slowly.  I know you can do it![/quote]

God, you're stupid. You didn't read about logical fallacy, did you?  The drive to become a mother is biological; working in no way interferes with the desire to be a mother. Educate yourself.[/quote]

You're the person who uses 50 hours of childcare per week, right?  Sounds like your "desire to become a mother" was no more than your desire to check that task off your to-do list.  But sure, we believe you. Especially if you're the PP who keeps coming back to tell SAHMs what a poor choice they made and how if we're "secure in our choices," then criticism shouldn't bother us. I suggest you take your own advice.

It's curious that you're trolling a thread which has nothing to do with you, dontcha think? Kind of an insecure thing to do.

Why is a dad considered a good parent if he is gone more than 40 hours a week for work, but not a mom?  Would you feel differently if I said I was gone from my kids for work for 47 hours a week, but instead of childcare, my husband was a SAHD?[/quote]
