You;re an idiot. Their priority is to raise their kid(s).
Yes, it is. I believe the point the other poster was making was that it's NOT work or attaining work life balance. Their priority is to not work while raising their kids. Others choose to work while raising their kids. Those people have a priority to work in addition to raise their kids. To each his own but they are not the same.

The issue being discussed is not about being the same. Don't be obtuse. The issue is that this woman is claiming superior intelligence, superior ambition, and simply passing judgement on people who make different choices. It's idiotic.

That is not at all what her point was. Her point was that SAHMs are lazy. Go back and read her posts. She does not pull any punches.
It sounds like you don't have a career to speak of and are simply in no position to pass judgement. I can totally understand why any person would value their child over any career. I have a rather excellent career as a scientist, but it's squat compared to the baby in my belly. That's not something you can grasp, which is fine. And you can certainly have your judgements, although it doesn't really matter to the parent who chooses to stay home with their kids.
Obviously you didn't read where I stated I HAVE a career, I am an instructional designer. So yes I am right to pass judgment on those who don't.

Many are lazy. In fact I don't understand those women who are still at home when the kids are at school or those who expect the husband to cook and clean or the others who have a nanny and housekeeper and still stay at home.

I stated I don't care what others do but yes I do think those who choose to stay at home for years aren't ambitious. Otherwise if they were ambitious they would keep their job and have a kid. Many women do both now. It has nothing to do with anything else but not everyone is ambitious and if they think they will have a career after years out of the workforce they will find this isn't often the case.

You have said yourself that you are failing at it. You want to be an instructional designer, but you're not managing it. At least not successfully. And that makes you more intelligent how, exactly? It's not as if you're trying to cure cancer here. There are a million things under the sun that don't pay the almighty dollar that are way more ambitious and important than what you're doing. So no, you're not right to pass judgement on anyone.

I NEVER said I was failing, I said I was switching careers. BIG difference and it has nothing to do with whether I am failing at it (which I am not). Rather the field is changing and I want out before this happens. Sorry but my career is far more important than being a sahm and I will continue to pass judgment on those who refuse to work when I know so many moms who have jobs and still have kids, even babies.

You have no idea what ambition is, that much is clear.
