Just what is a SAHM?
| Mon, 02-18-2008 - 1:38pm |
I was taking a class recently from a well known designer--she is on the design team for a couple of companies, she teaches classes, writes articles, and sells her own creations from time to time online.
She started her introduction by saying "I'm a stay at home mom who also....." and then went on to describe what she does professionally.

At the risk of drawing some flames, can we please lay off of Mallory already? I know that people love to jump on semantics (i.e., if someone says "full time mom", someone else inevitably starts huffing about how that *implies* that somehow they are not as much of a mom, etc).

Yes, we can view her words in a variety of ways, but sweet merciful heavens, can we please stop pretending to be so DENSE? We KNOW what she means by "full time mom", we KNOW what she means by it feels like torture (yes, I say it too!) to be away from her baby - just because we don't feel the same way when we leave ours doesn't mean we should chastise her for feeling that way. Some people are more attached than others.
Anyway, I'm just sick of the Mallory hunt is all. It's like hearing someone say "Good morning" and someone else saying "What exactly do you mean by 'good'? What's so 'good' about it? Are you saying that other times of day are bad? What do you have against afternoons or evenings?"

Oh, I do expect that you will *relax* abit, but, there are some things that you may always feel this strongly about, and others you likely won't.
