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?

No, not at all. They are usually only doomed if their marriages fail. Also, some people are fine with planning to live off social security in old age, for example. Other people are not.

Now I am confused. Are you arguing that there is value to society in SAHPs?

Either your husband makes a lot of money, you live frugally or both.

I'm arguing that for some families, even those whooville doesn't consider rich, there may be valu ein SAH.

No one is agreeing with whoville regarding her *opinion* about the (non)value of the sahp. You just have to agree to disagree with her or else you will be arguing the same thing over and over and over again.

So what's your take on the SAH WOH debate?

Oh, I see what you're saying. I thought you meant the eventual difference upon retiring, which in my case is about £250.
