[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]That's the thing though.  If you read my OP, you'll see that I'm really NOT insecure.  I'm not perfect - hey, judgmental obviously! - but insecurity isn't something I struggle with.  Which makes me wonder why I do this.

I also don't curse on DCUM, though I do IRL.  Like poor grammar and spelling, it renders posts irrelevant IMO.[/quote]
Just because you said you're not insecure in your OP, doesn't mean you're not. I assume that you are very insecure.  Also, pointing out someone's poor grammar and spelling just means that you have nothing to add to the discussion. Do you really think you have to have perfect grammar to offer advice on parenting or anything else (except for grammar, of course).[/quote]

Why does someone have to be insecure to have strong opinions?  I genuinely don't get why that's a go-to.  Sure, say I'm bitchy or judgmental or snooty - that makes more sense.  But how does insecure even play in?[/quote]

I have lots of strong opinions. About myself, my children, my family. But what another family does isn't really that interesting to me because I don't see how it affects me. One reason people care about what others do is because they see it as a judgment of what they do. For instance, you admittedly don't support SAHMs. While working is certainly a fine choice, there is no reason to have such strong opinions about what others do, unless you aren't really secure in your own decisions and use it as a defense mechanism - insult others to make you feel mor superior about your own life. [/quote]

But this is just false in my case - I have the means (personal assets, not my husband's) to be a SAHM if I chose to.  I have no doubt that it's the right choice for me.  Just because something doesn't affect you, doesn't mean you can't have opinions about it.  I'm not pregnant and don't plan to be, but I feel strongly that women should have the right to abort if they choose.  I'm not low-income, but I believe strongly in promoting educational experiences for those who might not have access to them financially.  On and on.  [/quote]
