+1 [b]the whole sahm wohm issues always dissolve to the insecure people.[/b] They see any comment as an afront to their personhood and capabilities as a parent. They get set off over people describing their own situation. Sahm: I want to spend these precious years being a full time mom. Wohm: Are you saying I am not a loving mom? I'll have you know....
Wohm: I need a work life outside the home to feel mentally active and I'm proud to be a financial support to my family and use my brain. SAHM: How dare you imply I am not using my brain? I'll have you know...

People, be comfortable in your skin! [b]Someone's choice is not an indictment on you![/b] Be glad if what you chose is not a "sacrifice".[/quote]

Yes, this!

Whenever someone on DCUM or even in real life (although much more rare) has an opinion about my choice to work outside the house or not, I just laugh. I couldn't care less what they think because I know how it works for me and my family. All the people who get all up in arms about it are insecure, so maybe you need to evaluate why that is.[/quote]
