[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never met a SAHM who cares if anyone else works or not. The number of WOHMs here, however, that invent weird narratives about SAHMs who live pitiful existences and are miserably married is truly remarkable. No one accused you of anything, but the hostile attacks on SAHMs reeks of mom guilt. [/quote]

+1. I see nastiness on both sides, but the vitriol from the working moms is on another level. Thinking sahms are worthless, don’t contribute to society, really? You have to have a deep sense of self hatred and raging jealousy to have such strong feelings about anyone else. [/quote]

Nope, sorry, but you have blinders on.  There is SO much vitriol from stay at home moms who accuse working moms of "abandoning their kids in daycares" and ask why they bothered to have kids at all.  You sound like a fool for blaming one group more than the other.  [/quote]

I have been on both sides and it’s definitely nastier from WOH, 100%. UMC circle though where you don’t get a lot of SAHMs that don’t use housekeeper or preschool, so there’s not much of the “letting other people raise your kids” narrative since most use some form of childcare themselves and see the merits of it.

I feel a rage in many WOH moms. It ranges from calling SAHMs worthless, submissive, anti-feminists, doormats to accusing them of "riding the gravy train".  There are dire predictions that their DH's will leave them for a working woman, thereby leaving the SAHM and her kids destitute.  Then on other forums they are crying about being devalued at work, being incompetent, having a boss from hell. They cry about hating their husband, sexual dysfunction, being attracted to others and husband cheating. They are unhappy about their messy homes or behaviour problems with their kids. THey are stressed out and bitchy when they have to function on the weekends in any social capacity. They are also very dismissive of other WOHMs - no sympathy for a new WOHM who is trying to pump or breastfeed at work for example.  They are dismissive of other WOHMs who don't make enough money to outsource chores, and they are absolutely nasty to the other WOHMs who are cleaning their homes or looking after their children.

It is just RAGE, RAGE, RAGE...

+100. Wohms are an angry bunch on dcum. They’re passive aggressive too, which is why they bitch online or to the one friend they have, instead of standing up directly to the “mean” sahms. I can’t imagine they’re doing well in their jobs or on the home front with this kind of attitude...so they’re failing everywhere and unleash their pent up frustration on dcum for our entertainment  :lol: [/quote]

Don't worry, the stay at home moms give us plenty to laugh about.  We are fully entertained by their antics.

Seriously, if you don't think stay at home moms are a bitchy bunch on DCUM then I don't know what you're reading.[/quote]
