Of course they WORK!
Tying whether they're capable of understanding economic issues into the same question is silly. After all, professional economists prove time and time again that they're not capable of understanding economic issues.
OH! That's just like OBAMA said it! It's surely mean ALL Democrats feel that way!!
LOL! Thanks for the morning strrrrretch!
I think they Repugs are getting a little defensive about their LONG and well documented history of attacking women....
And the OP poll, to stem the huge tide of Democrats war on women starts an insulting sexist divisive ignorant poll attacking women.... Repugs just do NOT get it....poor things,,,
Hello, mods? Hi there.
How much longer is this poster going to be allowed to state "Repugs" over and over? (check posting history, if you will)
And how many more times am I gong to report it?
Like the "*******s" label, it's distracting, disrespectful, immature, and
on par with the "name calling" forbidden in the TOS.
Maybe y'all have been very busy lately but I figure this may be seen
since my reports haven't been.
I'm pretty tired of the fact that these anti-Conservative slams are allowed. If I get an infraction from this, then so be it.
I've played both roles. It's sickening to think that anyone would feel this way about stay at home Moms. They sure do understand economics. It's up to them to go and get what their families need and have to make decisions based on that daily.

Others feed the kids, take them to activities, but do little else.
And others sit around, do near nothing, count on the state for income, don't make meals for their kids and lets them run wild with no supervision.
Given that variety, I chose not to vote.
"""Stay at home moms are no differnent that any other group of people.""
Correct and the OP poll premise is so STUPID and sexist and devisive and intended to provide a platform to attack women that it shouldn't even be addressed.
The idea that women can't understand politics/business/economics went out in the 20th century ....keep it out ! Don't resurrect something so stupid.

Same here. And how is this a "Democratic" war on women? Because
Hilary Rosen, a partner at SKDKnickerbocker, the PR firm of former Obama communications director Anita Dunn" said it?
So there's a communications director for Obama and her name is Anita Dunn. She has a PR Firm, and one of the partners at this PR Firm made this statement? And somehow this is a democratic war on women?
When the democratic side of state legislators starts butting into the "requirements" for being a SAHM and requiring medical procedures and educations certifications to do such things OR if the democratic legislature tries to make them stop giving opinions, then I will agree that there is a democratic war on women.
By the way, can I start a poll on here about the Republican War on Women because a very Republican poster here made comments yesterday to the effect that working women don't raise their children and shouldn't be mothers?

No one's saying you shouldn't be mothers, but you're probably talking about me
and I stand behind the fact: Who is raising your children when you're at work? You aren't. Someone else is.
How can you be raising them when you aren't even in the same zip code, likely?
It's a simple concept, but if you are feeling exceptionally guilty you would take issue with it.
That's not a "Republican War on Women," as it's not necessarily held by all Republicans,
I'm also a woman, so many other reasons. Just sounds like a guilty conscience on your part, that's all.
When Dunn said she "hasn't worked a day in her life" do you know if she meant it literally? I would definitely call someone who has had the luxury of literally never working even before they had children, out of touch with economic issues.

Actually, it wasn't about you at all but I can see you are one that is on the other side of "insulting" people. Just as SAHP's don't like to be told they don't "work" because they do, working parents don't like to be told they aren't raising their children. I have two children, and yes they are wonderful individuals who would 100% tell you that they were raised BY ME and their working father. It may not have been in the manner that YOU prefer to raise your children, but they very much feel that they were raised by me, they have my values, we love each other, and they have good happy rememberances of their childhoods. For you to say such a thing is as bad as what this woman has said about stay at home parents. If you can't see that, you are horribly blind.
I'm not guilty at all about my choice and am very happy about what I did. What I find incredible is the amount of stay at home women who feel the need to chime in every freaking chance that get with their sanctimonious, holier-than-thou BS about this issue which only proves to me that they feel inferior because they aren't in the workforce. They (and not all of them) must CONSTANTLY get on their high horse and denigrate someone who went to work.

I don't think you're understanding: How can you be raising them when you aren't there?
Do you only work an hour or so a day? A few days a week?
Chances are (I'm just going on averages) you work 8 hours a day (at the very least)
and 5 days a week, and when we factor in time to drop off/commute/pick up you are talking about probably 9-10 hours per weekday that your kids
were with someone else.
Do you think that someone else was sitting in a corner, twiddling their thumbs?
You'd hope not.
But what were they doing? They were raising your kids during that extended time.
For you to deny this would illustrate a poor grasp on math, at the very least.
No one's saying you didn't do things with them on weekends on around dinnertime/bedtime during the week,
but unless you have telepathic powers you weren't raising them while you were at work all that time.
