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?

Of course it's a different love, there are many different kinds of love.

I think it's more important to live where one wants to and can make a livelihood and find excellent lifestyles, including educational opportunities for one's family, than to live in rural Idaho, for example, just so one paretn doesn't have to work for pay.

<<Society would have less troubled children to deal with. >>


I'm sure you have some data to support this opinion, correct?

You don't think it's a loss to society that only the male half of the population could be Ph.D scientists or doctors???

So...

What planning guarantees that an average woman will be able to be a SAHM? (And are we talking about being a SAHM until the children are in school or until the children are grown?)

<<I'm sorry the women you know are incapable of raising their own children.>>


Are you really claiming that

<<They are willing to limit their children's opportunities much further than I am. >>


Exactly, something that I am not willing to do either.
