[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I am a sham back to work (after a decade) and completely agree with you. Working is way easier than childcare and house crap. I’m sure I’ll get flamed for this, but dropping your kids in daycare and working is he easy way out.[/quote]

I worked full time, then went PT for a few years at a high paying job, and now am back to FT. I always found, without exception, SAHMs paid very little actual attention to their kids, whereas working moms valued the time and paid a lot of attention to their kids. I think because SAHM have so much more time in the day to spend there is more quantity/being in proximity, but not necessarily quality. This bears out in studies showing working moms spend MORE TIME with their kids than moms from the studies. [/quote]

How did you observe this?[/quote]

Hysterical.  You judge a mom’s amount of engagement on her actions at the playground? Or at the library?As a sahm, I spent 12 hours of waking hours a day with my kid.  A working parent gets some time in the car, when you are making dinner and before bed?.  if im a little zoned out at the playground, when you saw me, it’s because I just spent five straight hours with my kids and we all need some independent time.   You are living in a dream world if you think working moms have more quality time with their kids.  You can’t manufacture “quality” time on demand with kids.  You just have to be WITH THEM, which working moms are not.  Stay at home parents have more quality time with their kids. [b]That’s totally indisputable and I don’t need a study to tell me that[/b].

You are, without a doubt, the biggest moron on DCUM.  Congratulations.[/quote]
