[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It works both ways.  [b]SAHM’s constantly criticize WOHM’s for not raising  their children[/b].  If you are so confident in your decision, just ignore the comments.  [/quote]

And here we go again.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this OP. This area is particularly annoying because there’s a substantial number of working who do not feel complete unless they are putting down SAHPs. It comes from a place of insecurity and a massive victim complex. They don’t know how not to be on the attack.[/quote]

Or it comes from SAH parents making supposedly innocent comments like, "oh my gosh, I don't know how you do it! I could never bear to leave my small children, they are my everything!"

If I hear this sort of comment, I will absolutely go for the jugular. With a smile. [/quote]

Why does this bother you any more than, "How can you stand being a lawyer? I could never read that much boring stuff?" I am not a SAHM and haven't said this, but why can't it just be their experience/preference and nothing more?

Seriously?  Because the underlying assumption is that they love their kids so much they couldn't bear to be apart from them, but women who work can.  The implication is that WOHMs love their kids less.  It's not the same as saying that someone else's job is boring, although that's rude AF, too.  [/quote]
