[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When are women going to let this topic go?  It's so played out. [/quote]

Ask the OP.  She really just wanted to chat with other SAHMs...really, just for support...

Love how the SAHMs stir the pot and then say "why are you on this thread..."

I imagine the OP was the very same WOHM troll who now keeps appearing to argue her point and tell us about her extremely insecure marriage and a lifetime of baggage.  She started the thread just so she could unload in it.

But I do find it so interesting that not one WOHM has answered the question, why are you on this thread?  What could possibly have made you click on it?  Hmm, let's think...[/quote]

WOHM here, I did answer this; my DH is trying to talk me into staying home and I was curious how the days go once kids are in school. The animosity between SAHM and WOHMs makes me wonder if I will be jeopardizing my friendships with moms from daycare by hanging out with our schools SAHM crew (they meetup every morning after drop off and go to coffee and then do some round robin  exercise class like yoga one day and barre another -- in really excited about that built in socializing part of SAH). But why so much anger both ways; it isn't even like we cross paths that much? All the SAHM are setting down to home cooked dinner by the time I get to SACC. [/quote]

I've done both and my kids are much older. Please don't let DCUM guide your decision-making.

In my life, I heard more nastiness about WOHMs by SAHMs when I was a SAHM than I did about SAHMs when I was a WOHM, but it was rare in either direction. When I think back to the few women who said nasty things, they all had their own issues, and given how stats work, it could have easily gone the other way as far as prevalence. In short, there are a subset of people who have their own issues, and they're going to use whatever means they have to lash out. The topic is irrelevant.

I have wonderful SAHM friends (I now WOH), and they'd never say any of the nonsense you see on DCUM from the SAHMs who post here. I for my part would never say any of the things I see here about SAHMs. Life is too short to be so wrapped around the axel about how other people raise their kids. Besides which, everyone who is arrogant here is going to get their comeuppance when they're raising middle schoolers and high schoolers because if you're observant, by then you see that SAHM versus WOHM is really pretty irrelevant in the big scheme of things. The smug ones often take quite a tumble when they get teens in the house. [/quote]
