"The main point here is that kids, barring anything really unusual in terms of needs or circumstances, will be just fine whether their mothers SAH or WOH. "


ITA!


"As you in fact describe, the decision to SAH is about all kinds of things, dh's schedule, frequent moves etc that are not strictly speaking directly about the kid's welfare."


Not "strictly", no.


"Since you are a concerned and committed mother, I am sure that in the event you had to work you would make sure that your kids were ok then too."


Of course...

At the risk of giving her new fodder, she has forgotten 2: a wohm can't breastfeed or make her own baby food.

A very firm, not negotiable rule of mine is that I will not set foot into CEC until their pizza makes up for all the screaming kids in the arcade. If they were ever invited to go there, either their dad will take them, they will be old enough to go themselves, or, if not, we will decline the invitation. I will not go.

"I'm a WOHM who works because I really enjoy working, and because college and retirement will be so very expensive. It's insulting to think that I WOH to bring in income to "shop.""
