Clearly, you haven't read this entire thread. The "mommy wars" started here because of some militant WOHMs hurling insults at SAHMs. Maybe you should back it up and take a look at the "hatred and vitriol" directed toward SAHMs before they started defending themselves.
Either way, you're late to the party. We pretty much established that it's no one's concern what one does with their time, whether they SAH or WOH. The mommy wars are over, except for those who are deeply insecure about their own life choices.

So basically all the big law, doctor, banker moms agreed 1 SAHM > 5+ employees. CASE CLOSED FOR GOOD WOHMS.
Wait. I thought wohms did everything sahms did while earning an income![]()
Other than actually physically watching my child while I am working, this WOHM does do everything else.
But maybe the only difference is I absolutely don't give a crap what other people (SAHM/WOHM) do/don't do. Not my concern.

Im sure the average SAHM does tons of gardening and handyman work.
No one employs a handyman.
And most WOHMs don't work those hours.
Yeah, you fail.
