[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My takeaway:  SAHMs are defensive and hyper-sensitive and WOHMs are one-note shrews harping on financial independence.  Poor OP even had to justify her degree to prove it wasn’t wasted.

None of us are coming out of this thread looking good, ladies. [/quote]

I don’t disagree generally that these are always how these threads go, but I don’t see any WOHMs talking about financial independence in this thread. Plenty of weirdly hyper defensiveness from the SAHMs though. [/quote]

That’s because you are blind to how OP’s post is fundamentally anti-SAHM. Let me give you an analogous post that reads just like OP’s post to me:

“I’m a married black mom. I live in a town with racist white people who think all black children don’t have fathers. How do I make sure the white people know I’m not one of ‘those’ single black moms?” You don’t! You reject the premise altogether.[/quote]

No, PP, it’s right in the title “ the nanny and daycare hating SAHMs”.  That’s clearly not all SAHMs.

But be insulted if it helps you.  No one cares. [/quote]

Then what does all the trust find and education stuff have to do with it?[/quote]

She’s stated that it’s to stop the inevitable lectures from the WOHMs on financial independence and living off her husband.  She mentions her major and prior job to nip the “wasted degree” and mommy-tracked lectures from the WOHMs, too.  [/quote]

Right, because she agrees with them those most SAHM’s are dependent on their husbands, and she’s trying to say “don’t worry, I’m not like them.” 99.9999% of SAHM’s do not have trust funds. Does OP think those people shouldn’t stay home?[/quote]

I give up. You want to be offended so be offended.  No one cares. [/quote]

I’m truly not offended. I just think OP will never feel right with herself if she believes she judgments about SAHM’s. And from what I can see, she does. I’m not the one creating a whole post about dcum mommy wars and how much they bother me.[/quote]
