Why does the media portray working moms, always, as having guilt?

"Every person I know even SAHM are WAHM because I have never known someone to sell their house without making a profit."

They dont play with each other. I have two children...one boy one girl. He is 8 and she is 5. They dont have a lot in common. When they go play at a friends house it isnt usually at the same time. They have different friends. Birthday parties we go to are separate as well. She doesnt go to the ones he is invited to, nor does he go to the ones she is invited to. When they are playing in their rooms that is when I am cleaning house, preparing dinner, laundry, etc. So no.

Neither does the business owner of a startup (draw an income), yet he or she is still WAH.

Nah. I dont need to ask her. It is clear that we have very different experiences within our lives. When I told you that I didnt believe you I was just being sarcastic. Your experiences are yours. I wouldnt call you a liar like you did me just because we dont share the same experiences.

Why did you sell it? What caused your home to lose value?

<<>>

I most certainly am. I could sell my house tomorrow for full asking price. The market here is unstable due to interest rates being unsettled. However we want to stay in this house for a few years because after the election year rates tend to fall, and the market here climbs about 6% every year. We have nothing to lose by staying in this home. We also plan to stay here because I am returning to work and do not want to remodel another home.
