How does this relate to the debate?

Hey I rhymed! lol

Something occurred to me earlier and I wanted to see how others thought it might relate to the whole "which is harder SAH/WOH" portion of the debate that crops up so often.

I think that, when you look at either group *as a whole*, the WOHs might have it harder. And this is why ...

There are virtually no SAHMs who SAH because they "have to". There are virtually no SAHMs who are forced to SAH. A woman that SAH wants to SAH.(I'm sure there's a few exceptions out there; controlling dhs who MAKE their wives SAH, disabled children, etc) A woman that SAH doesn't hate her "job", or else she'd go get a WOH job. A woman that SAH is generally getting what she wants.

There are LOTS AND LOTS of WOHMs who WOH because they "have to". A single mom, or one whose dh doesn't make enough to support the family, or one with a disabled dh, whatever the case may be ... she may long, with all her heart, to SAH, but *can't*. Many WOHMs hate their jobs, but can't quit.

Anyhoo ... just wanted to stir up something new

You what I think. I think someone, of say, the jr high age range is using silverunitys screen name. Maybe one of her kids or something. she posts over on Hot Topics and I have not seen posting like this before. Although I could be wrong. And if I am.....well heaven help her.

Actually I did. And it just shows me that you yourself think it was untasteful, since you edited the post to remove all the nasty comments.

At least ecsm won't read what you said about her. You spared her that.

Obviously, you don't know the meaning of "trolling". DFL is anything but.
