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?

Exactly and I would also add desire, not every family wants a sahp or see's the purpose of a sahp, their family situation works without having/needing/wanting a parent at home.

And who are people like Dr. Laura to say that they shouldn't have children or by default they are not good planner and bad parents to boot.

I guess a stop taking the col for granted for why, one is able to sah, is a statement that could also be made?

I have a friend who move to a lower col area, due to a job transfer and promotion.

"So the cost of childcare can sometimes bring out the true preference of a person."

I agree. Two people in the same situation financially:

Person A:

To work all week and only have X after expenses, not worth it.

Person B:

Even after paying expenses I still have X left over. Great.

Being financially savvy or wise has nothing to do with luck. You either are, aren't or you pay someone who is. :) The fact that things work out or don't work out, is where the luck comes into play.


I agree, having a financial plan doesn't ensure anything. Again, being wise or savvy with money has little
