[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why Do you guys have kids if you are so opposed to caring for them?

Serious question.

Are they just something to fill your time outside of work and as travel companions? I think you probably would have been better off as one of those couples who had dogs instead of kids.  It’s really much easier to just crate those little buggers.  [/quote]

This poster is one of the reasons I hated being a SAHM.  She was the kind of undereducated idiot I would get stuck talking to at the library or park.  I loved being home with my baby but all the rest truly sucked big time.[/quote]

How do you define educated?  Because by every common definition, my husband and I are very well educated and I have two degrees (one finite and from one of those schools all your kids want to get into)   Do I have different opinions on child rearing than you do, yes.  But those opinions were made by a very well educated mind.  You DO only spend time with your kid on nights and weekends right?  Am I wrong in that or do you just not like hearing it phrased that way?  My well educated mind is and was the one raising my children.  One of the reasons I chose to stay home is that most childcare providers ARE uneducated, most jobs don’t require any type of degree.  I’m not sure what interactions you had at the park or library, but Most women I know who sag are very well educated especially in this area.  They chose to stay home because they can and they think it’s best for their kids, not for lack of opportunity in the job market. [/quote]

NP. I also hated talking to women like you when I was a SAHM when my kids were young. You go on and on about your education but have no ability to teach important values like kindness, compassion, and empathy to your children, and it's so obvious.

What I learned over the years though is that your attitude will come back to haunt you. My kids are much older and mine is the house where the teens congregate, and boy have I learned a lot about the behavior of children of parents like you. Enjoy the shallow relationship you have with your teens. They won't tell you anything important. You won't even know it.

lets be clear, you don't need a college degree to be a good mom.  plenty of educated people end up being lousy parents.   just be honest, you have a grad degree or ivy education and you are playing princess pretend and wiping floors all day.  stop bragging about what a great mom you are.  [/quote]
