[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t feel bad for this author. I see a lot of this brainwashing in the school systems with girls. My friends daughter said I never want to be a sahm mom that’s stupid. She’s goes to a typical private. The idea is college, prestige. Another friend same thing, I couldn’t depend on a man. I wanted to tell her, it’s a treat to spend time with your 3 month baby. I’m a sahm with a professional degree and yet people look down on me. I feel like a lot of our society is in this direction of equality forgetting about the kids. Nothing can be equal until we tackle childcare. I don’t want to government to pay me for my work though. I’m assumed she’s had this “realization”. [/quote]

There’s a big difference between a SAHM with an infant/toddler vs. a SAHM with kids in school FT and no extraordinary circumstances like SN etc. I totally respect the former and scoff at the latter.[/quote]

I work and I think you sound ridiculous. Who are you to judge?

I think the newspaper article author sounds entitled and silly, but you don't sound better. [/quote]

I am a human being and therefore I can judge. You are free to disregard my judgment. See how that works?[/quote]

Do you judge men as harshly when they retire young for example?  Or is your judgment only reserved for women who make life choices you don't agree with?  Or are you just judgmental for everyone?[/quote]
