[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 was super ambitious in my career- but I'm also super ambitious as a mother. Being an involved parent was and is critical to ms- I didn't have kids to outsource their care. I am a stay at home MOM, not a stay at home wife. It's so interesting to me that you focus on being a maid/ personal assistant and completely miss the hours of 1:1 (or, in my case 1:3) time that I get with my kids each day. THAT is why I sta home. To be present for their infancy, toddlerhood and childhood. I'm not their maid, I'm their mom. And I love it. Sorry they didn't make your shortlist when you think about staying home.

Agreed! I have a masters degree, am very ambitious, and was a SAHM for 11 years. I now work less than 1/2 time because that's what I want to do. My kids are my everything. I'm thankful that DH whose not c-level, makes enough for us to live in vienna and for me to SAHM for so long! [/quote]

If you were a SAHM for 11 years, you're simply not professionally ambitious. That's fine, but own it. And it's "who's."[/quote]
