[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep she's totally right you'll be a better mother if you stay at home. Choose to work if you want to but you must know that's what you're sacrificing.[/quote]

Proven to be untrue in study after study.  And certainly in my case.  My mother was a loving but inept SAHM.  My siblings and I would have been far better off with a WOHM and an educated nanny.  [/quote]

Ok.  Yes.  Study after study shows that kids are better off with a WOHM *if they would otherwise be in poverty.*  But those same studies pretty universally show that as long as a family has an income that is middle class or better, the kids are better off with a SAHP.

Look.  Population level studies are not really super helpful in making individual decisions, and there are a lot of factors that go into this.  But you need to stop perpetuating this myth that studies show that all kids are better off with WOHMs or that there is a deluge of reliable, college educated nannies out there waiting to be offered a job.  Neither of these things are true.  [/quote]
