[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).

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]

Agreed. My friends who WOHM are much less strict than the SAHM. [/quote]

Technically getting away with murder? What kind of kids are they? An overly strict parent either has a a kid expert in getting away with stuff or one a Stepford kid that can't think for herself. [/quote]
