[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wanda doesn't want a pity party. She merely wants SAHMs to stop forcing working moms to use terms like WOHM. It's silly and unnecessary. And she's not being condescending. Rather, she's trying to make clear for folks how working moms have two jobs...whereas SAHMs have one job. See how I just said that SAHMs have a job? I did. I get it. Working moms get it. Society gets that SAHMs have the job of caring for kids and their home. [/quote]

The thing is that SAHMs also do two jobs - they are full time daycare workers / homeschool teachers / nannies - basically they spend the time while you are at work on raising their child(ren). Then in the evenings and weekends - they do the same job as working moms - taking care of kids and home.  SAHMs just mix it up a bit more - they do some housework during the day while the kids nap etc..[/quote]

This right here is why people started using terms like WOHM. Because of people like this, who insist that being a mother is equal to holding down a for-pay job. It's so unbelievably stupid to me that we have to explain things like pay structures and bosses and work deadlines and commutes and obligations outside of your control to people like this. So I won't even try. [/quote]

I have a PhD and had a 12 year career. You don't need to explain anything to me. What you need to explain to yourself is why you are such an asshole. [/quote]

Then you should have enough sense to know the difference between a stay a home parent and a working out of the home parent. Your ignorance was showing loud and clear, and you're contributing to an idiotic trend acting like it's the same thing to stay and home and work out of the house, so much so that we have these acronyms. And yet people like you still want to argue about it. [/quote]
