[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The envy that some working moms display in every thread pertaining to stay at homes is just embarrassing. I work a big law job with shitty hours, but I don't resent women who stay home enjoying their husbands' money and taking care of their children. It is not stay at home moms' fault that being a working mom sucks so badly from absolutely hostile work environments to ridiculous child care costs.  I fully admit that I love having my own money, but hate being away from my kids and actually hate my job and coworkers too. I hear other working moms claiming to love working so much, but if you were having such a good time, you wouldn't be so bitter towards stay at homes.  [/quote]

I love my job, love my coworkers, and my kids are thriving.  I'm sorry your job sucks, but not every working parent is miserable.[/quote]

And, regardless of what people in these threads love to claim, I'm a WOHM who is not jealous at all of SAHMs. I didn't go to a top school and then get an MBA in finance to be a maid/personal assistant, and I wouldn't put myself in a position (e.g., marrying someone super-ambitious) where there would be so much pressure for me to take on that role. [/quote]

I am not an MBA and am okay to be the support person (personal assistant/maid is another way to say it!) for my DH. But you make a damn good point about choosing to marry someone less ambitious.[b] I see ambition as an important, desirable quality[/b] but i might advise my daughters to be wary of getting forced into a certain role as you describe. While I was not "forced" this was because I was willing - had I been more ambitious career wise we would have had a BIG problem. we did, however, have lots of problems that stemmed from an unbalanced relationship. [/quote]

Only in men?  Seriously question.[/quote]
No! Not only in men. Pp here you quoted above. I don't have sons btw only daughters. Career ambition for men AND women is admirable. But if 2 highly driven career centered people get married and decide to have children here is the reality: one or both parents will need to slow down enough to be parents. Work-life balance? It is also admirable, in my opinion, to adjust one's career ambition to accommodate your family. Not sure why so many people on here have an objection to this. [/quote]
