[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only SAHMs or WAH/WOHs that annoy me are the ones that think their path is the only correct answer and can't fathom that someone would choose differently, or have different circumstances (financial, health, etc.) that limits their choices.

Funny enough, I am currently a working mom who may soon become an expat, SAHM.  Which in some ways is a bit daunting to think about, but part of me would like to get off the hamster wheel for a couple years.  [/quote]

Agreed, but I wonder how many people are really like that.  There are SAHMs, part-time working moms, full-time working moms, super high powered full-time working moms, etc at my kids school and it isn't really ever discussed.  The PTA is run by parents of all types.  The only time this really comes up is when discussing things like activities and camps- eg sometimes the SAHMs might not need as much camp but I would still ask them what they are planning to do for the summer and see if their kids might want to do camp with mine.  I don't really think about their situations or judge them in any way.  If it works for them, it works for them, right?  My working situation works for my family, I can't imagine caring about what works for another family.  [/quote]
