[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geez, I wonder when we will all find ways to support eachother, whether we stay at home or work outside of the home.  The thread is appalling and a distraction from the greater societal problems of institutional sexism, lack of family friendly policies, etc.  [/quote]

Disagree--there are clearly some posters on this thread who feel pretty strongly that women should be home with their kids, and therefore are PART of the problem of sexism and why we don't have family friendly policies. Which is why the rest of us need to keep fighting, including both WOHMs and SAHMs who should all have [u]choices[/u].[/quote]

But if it's so awful and dull to be with your children, why the need for any of this? It would result in spending more time being bored. Can't have it both ways. Either you want to get away or you want your policies so you don't have to. This thread clearly shows those policies are not wanted or needed, it would only result in, as one poster said, "pulling my hair out in boredom". [/quote]

Because no one said that being with their kids is universally boring...only that being with them all day, every day is.  I like ice cream, but I don't like eating only ice cream for every meal of the day.  See how the modifier matters? [/quote]

Stop with the comparisons of ice cream to your child. Dear lord how far have we sunk as mothers to actually be having this conversation where we try to justify our sheer boredom by comparing our children to a frozen dairy dessert.[/quote]

I think people are trying to use very simple explanations and familiar examples since the complexities and subtleties of expressed language seem to be beyond the comprehension of several posters. [/quote]
