Stay at Home Moms

[Nahum]

My wife has never worked a full time job outside of the home. From time to time she has worked part time for a short period to give us a financial boost. Our kids have never been in daycare.

We learned to make do. God always provided. We don't have as many things as a lot of folks, but we have great kids and wonderful memories.

We don't regret our decision for her to be a stay at home mom at all.

Has anybody checked out the message board that is talking about the article? (You can get the message board on the article page.) I guess I am naive but I really didn't know that people were so ridiculously venemous about SAHM's. Very wierd that folks would care so much about what other people do.

We live in a wicked nation. Motherhood used to be something to aspire to.

I've seen it elsewhere. It is pretty bad. I don't understand why.

On the board it said SAHM's are parasites and worthless. Not all the people are saying that, of course, but some are downright nasty. I am amazed that ANYONE would think a SAHM was a parasite and worthless.

And you could be seeing a minority of mouthy people who override the way the real world feels about SAHM's. Everyone I tell, and I'm proud so I tell a lot of folks, says they think it is a great thing.

And another thing, wasn't feminism about women having the right to make choices? And doesn't a SAHM make a choice?
