[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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?

DP. Can you really not tell the difference from your example? That's something.
[/quote]

No I really can't, because I take it as about the other person and who they are, and neither one would bother me.[/quote]

Another DP.

Your example would be better illustrated with “how can you stand to be a SAH mom? I can’t imagine losing my identity like that.” It’s the equivalent kind of dig at the other person’s values. [/quote]

Yes, the equivalent question isn't the lawyer question, it would be something like "How can you stand to be subservient to your husband like that? I could never be such a doormat in my marriage, I value partnership in marriage too much!"

Both are incredibly rude. The lawyer question is rude too, but nowhere near this level.[/quote]
