[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The children who are disadvantaged are the ones in homes lacking financial stability and parent education. Why not focus on this issue instead of the SAHM/WOHM wars?[/quote]

Love this. [/quote]

Please define financial stability and parent education.

Stable home, plenty of nutritious food, average clothes, etc. OR mcmansion, exotic vacations, and paid college?

Solid parental common sense and engagement, OR advanced degrees and little knowledge of child development  and basic household management?[/quote]

Did you even read the article?  The women being profiled needed to work just to provide basic necessities.

For some reason you are obsessed with trying to paint working moms as working to merely provide luxuries. 1500 sq ft house here in a safe neighborhood but in a school pyramid many in here would turn their nose up at.  Can only fit so much "stuff" in that size of a house.  We like to be able to fly across the country to take the kids to see their grandparents- what a luxury! I like to be able to provide nutritious, healthy food and not weigh every purchase at the grocery store. And yeah, I don't want them paying back student loans into their 30s like I did.  These are the things a dual income provides us- and we are luckier than most.  Dual incomes on minimum wage are trying to make ends meet.[/quote]
