[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 disagree.  I think it’s more important for school aged children to have a parent at home.  Young kids are perfectly happy in daycare or with a nanny.  They don’t even remember the time.  Young babies spend most of the day sleeping.  It’s when kids are older that decisions and upbringing actually matters.  Most moms aren’t staying home for the benefits of young kids.  They are staying home because of hormones.  [/quote]
