[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I love how all the working moms profess a great love of their jobs (hear them roar!)[/b]. Yet in real life every working mom I know is a haggard mess, waking up early, commuting and spending all day dealing with office BS instead of remaining connected with family/kids.  These are the same women who are medicating (pills, alcohol, etc.) and who rarely see their husband and kids.  In the real world, often these are the folks who wind up divorced.  And, divorce for a working woman ain't a cake-walk.  Let's at least be real here ladies.  Don't worry, the PC police aren't watching.[/quote]

You misunderstand.  Working moms profess a great love of EARNING an income and being able to, if necessary, be financially independent.  That isn't the same as loving their jobs.

I'm sure not all of the men who support their SAH wives love their jobs, and a good many of them are overworked and, as you say, "haggard."  But they take pride in what they do.

Do you have statistics to back up your claim that working moms are more likely to end up divorced?  And if that is the case, perhaps it's because a woman who has a career is more inclined to leave a bad marriage, whereas a woman who is financially dependent on her husband is less inclined.[/quote]
