[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP -- I haven't read all the responses, but I totally get where you're coming from. His success is not your success. You shouldn't have stopped working, but now you have to live with that. Just remember this when you're giving young women/your daughter advice. [/quote]

Exactly! [b] Just remember to let your kids know that you regret spending so much time with them[/b] (even though you had more than enough money to do so) because they’re not worth bragging about at a college reunion the way some job you didn’t need would be…[/quote]

Keep telling yourself that all working mothers are terrible mothers to make yourself feel better about staying at home. I know plenty of stay at home mothers who way less competent at parenting than full-time working mothers, sometimes because they're bored, other times because they feel unfulfilled. The best mother is someone who is confident in herself, feels gratified, is a role model, and is someone her kids can be proud of. It's not about how many hours of the day are you with your kid and whether you drive them to baseball practice or they carpool with a friend. But, again, keep telling yourself that the only good mothers are stay-at-homes. [/quote]

The PP didn’t say or even imply what you are attributing to her.  [/quote]

NP.  Yes, the person did imply this.  The implication is anyone who can afford it should stay home with kids as that is the preferred parenting setup.  Lots of people could afford to have a parent stay at home and don't because they don't agree with this.

Also, please don't brag about your job OR your kids at a college reunion.  Snore.[/quote]
