[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moms who work FT "by choice", gay marriage, any sort of weird diet that is not related to food allergy/intolerance (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc.), people who drive cars that are disproportionately nice compared to their house.

I could go on and on. I'm quite judgy, but know better than to tell people![/quote]

Ooh ooh, I am a mom who's always worked full time by choice. Do you think it's not really my choice, or that all women should SAH or WOH PT once they become parents?  How totally weird.[/quote]

I know it's totally your choice, that you could easily afford to stay home with your children and don't. That is why I judge. Women who truly must work to cover basic bills, I feel sorry for.[/quote]

I'm not the above poster, but I actually completely understand this, because I have the opposite view: I am completely disdainful of women who are well-educated and come from impressive professions who give that up to stay at home with their kids. Why would anyone choose to give up a fabulous career to stay at home? Women who didn't make much money or had crappy jobs, "I feel sorry for." So I guess it's not surprising that there are SAHMs that feel the same way about us "by choice" working women![/quote]

I used to feel judgmental about women who didn't have a career and just stayed home with the kids. I couldn't understand why they wouldn't want that intellectual stimulation.  Then I had my kids.  I would do anything to be able to stay home with them and take care of them and play with them and snuggle with them every day.  Unfortunately our budget can only stretch to one of us doing that and it makes most sense for that person to be my husband.  Now I find myself on the other side of the fence.  I'm a working mom and yet I secretly judge other working moms who are working by choice when they could easily stay home and take care of their kids.  So lucky to be able to do that - best job in the world.[/quote]
