How does this relate to the debate?

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

When you say "I'm not the one who dragged her weakness into it", who the "her" to which you refer? Do you mean savcal's daughter? Savcal didn't mention any weaknesses of her daughter's. Did you mean me? I haven't brought up any of my own weaknesses.
The only weakness pointed out was yours. And I didn't bring it up, so your comment about "That someone must be you... " doesn't make sense.
Thought you were going to bed. . .how many times have you said 'goodnight'?
I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. But if you want to insist that your inability to follow a thread isn't the result of unfamiliarity with this format, so be it.
Really, PLEASE learn to use outline view, or the "in response to" link provided in the posts.
BTW, didn't you already make your grand exit?
Hollie has pointed out my error on more than one ocassion she than tell's me her daughter who is 7 can do whatever it is she can do better than i can....YEAH! that is GREAT!.
To point out error only Proves ones weakness and to compare your y yr old childs skills for pleasure to someone whom you think is trolling(as hollie blames me) is disqusting. My children stay off the boards at all times unless we are talking school schedule ect...never in a dark light, it will only come back to you in three folds~

We are listening to you. But as has been pointed out by more than one poster, your message is often difficult to decipher. You could take responsibilty for that, but instead you have claimed that you don't care. Yet you continue to complain when others don't understand what you are trying to say.
If you don't care that your posts aren't clear, then it isn't logical for you to continue complaining that no one understands your posts.
