Militants - are they for real?

Someone on another board posted this link.
http://blogs.babycenter.com/celebrities/2009/04/12/dr-laura-says-all-moms-should-stay-at-home/?scid=momstodd_20090414_A:2&pe=2U8vYLf
It's about Dr. Laura saying that all women should be SAHMs until the child is at least 3 years old.

Whether we're talking about working or staying at home, I can't quite wrap my head around what is going on inside the brains of people that apply the phrase "all women should".

Do you think militants are actually serious, or just trying to get a rise out of others?

>> With other medical procedures, you go back to work when the dr okays you. Pg is treated differently. <<

My employer won't let me come back until I'm okayed by my dr.

>> We want to treat childbirth like it's a medical trauma that we need to recover from and then go on just as before--ignoring the fact that it changes people's lives in so many ways. <<

But there are so many other medical "traumas" that require lifestyle/life changes after recovery. Heart attacks and other heart conditions come to mind first.

In the private sector it might be.

In mine, 37.5 or 35 hours is nearly the norm now.

>> Ps - Mozart and Ladybug, I recommend the paper plate option for you too :o) <<

Planning for it, esp since we don't have a dishwasher.

Lowerinf a family's stress level, and making kids happier, IS a contribution to society.

"SAH isn't better for anybody"


Did you grow up desperately poor, on welfare or something? I can't understand how you can't see intangeble benefits to having one parent not WOH.

>> It hasn't proved so here, or in other countries that have maternity leave. <<

Or for employers that are generous and flexible, like mine. *gives thanks again*
