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?

This argument is so dumb, it's hilarious.

I wouldn't let my children lose all self control.


So, why do you think all definitions were offered if only one applies? Maybe I was using a different definition when I used the word.

Do you to pick my definition as well?

"So you say, although I said nothing about your children, so I'm not sure why your personal experience is relevant to my comments about my children."


No, you were speaking of stay at home mothers.


"No, actually that would be yet another untruth."


So you say.

"So you are changing your statement from before, a parent doesn't need to be with the children?"


That would be an inaccurate assessment of what was said based on exaggerations.


"So then really what's the issue, what does it matter what a parent does while they are not with the children?

No, as I clearly said it was based on posts that have been made.

I'm sure my kids learn more because I'm out earning a paycheck.
