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

Long before I care if you approve of my parenting methods, I'm going to be worried about *real* issues, like whether or not the shoelaces in my shoes are evenly strung or if cat box is aligned properly with the plumbing fixtures....or how far my budgies can fling their poop....you know...important stuff in comparison to your opinion of my (or anyone else's) parenting...
I get your motto, do as i say not as i do.....
ill never buy into that.

Now *that* is as natural as my "sperm connecting with the egg-made self" will ever get. (I would have said "man-made" but hey...you *do* need a woman to help create a child)
(your talking to a woman who NEVER had the urge to breast feed and finds formula to be a nice little invention)
;O)
If you really don't know how to punctuate, create your post in Word, run the grammar check, and then cut & paste it into the post.
I'm not trying to pick on you. Lord knows we don't expect perfect grammar, spelling & punctuation on a message board. Your diatribes are amusing and would be much easier to read if you would PUNCTUATE and try to keep your compound sentences down to two *related* ideas.
We've already tried this tactic ... doesn't work ... lol
That sentence indicates that if you live anywhere that is not a city that with high salaries is a hick town.
