Everybody. This thread is frightfully mean-spirited.
From one poster, the rest of us are just in awe of her mastery of veiled insults. Frankly Scarlett, I don't give a flying poop what people do or don't do for a living, and I'm of the opinion unless you walked a mile you don't know what other peoples' lives are like. So Ivory thinks my life is a vacation, and I don't contribute anything to the family. Good for her. I hope she's happy, though I highly doubt anyone who posts constantly about how much better they are than everyone else is rarely happy with themselves. I think that anyone unhappy enough to post like this, should really consider going to counseling instead of going on a random internet site and degrade absolute strangers. My guess is that she's really a 40-year old man living in his mom's basement, with nothing better to do.
Well, I don't work hard on my days off and my days off should be busier than a SAHM's days home.... SAHM's do every day what I do when I'm on vacation or off for the weekend and I don't call that work because it isn't. There is so little work to be done at home that you can work full time and still manage to do it.
You have teenagers, right? Call me crazy, but I think being in a home with teenagers is much different than with babies or toddlers...

So, you work harder, you spend less time with your kids, but somehow you're the smart one here?

Are they veiled? I thought they were pretty in-your-face.
Well, I would think if they are in your face, the illustrious moderators would have shut her up a long time ago.
Well, only if they were directed at specific people like "rkb, you are a lazy a$$ SAHM". I think insulting an entire group of people all at once without naming names slips through a TOS loophole.
I hate to say this but my friends who had SAHM's picked careers too and ended up being SAHM's. They picked careers because they didn't see SAH as a career choice. Funny but they all regret that decision now that it's time to pay the piper. Every one of them wishes she'd kept working or had a career. It takes so much to make up for years out of the work force. That's money not saved (and likely money spent), 401k contributions not made, missed time towards pensions (if you had a job that had one), raises you never got, income you never earned... I feel bad for them. Especially the ones who have ended up divorced. They really got the short end of the stick.
So what exactly is the point- it's all about money?
And on the flip side, many of my friends, myself included wish to stay at home/would've stayed at home. In fact, one of my neighbors, who works as some "high up" financial position at a large corporation, shipped her son off to college this August and in speaking with her, she told me that she wishes she would've less time worrying about work related stuff and spent more time with him and the rest of their family. Sorry, but no raise or nice pension package can compare to spending time with family, because at the end of the day it's about your (well, at least mine) family's happiness and love for each other, not how much is in the savings account.
I think I'm going to log off and put my extra thirty hours to good use. Later ladies.
