SAH doesn't support change,

"SAH doesn't support change, it supports going backwards to the 1950's,"
Statement in a post below.
I wholeheartedly disagree. To me, SAH is a choice. How is that going back to the 1950s, when a lot of women didn't have much of a choice.

"We do have fewer problems compared to older generations, but the problems are still exist and are real."
Oh - and what has *your* experience been as an educated woman who worked and breastfed?
I know what you're trying to say...but I'm sorta in the middle on this issue. I'm very sentimental. When my youngest lost his first tooth, I almost cried.
(I even saved my EPT test stick for awhile (from my first pg), but finally threw it away when it turned brown....ewww)
One of my friends that I mentioned (who does the scrapbooking, etc.) is SO organized that she drives everyone around her crazy with the "time schedules." We all walk around with our drink glasses because we're afraid to put them down 'cuz she'll put them in the dishwasher.
We went to her son's bday party and, I swear, the minute the last guest left, she sat down and starting writing thank you notes. (We were on vacation and staying with them.) I asked her why didn't she just hand them to the guests as they left ;).
Thanks! This is exactly the type of material I was looking for.
Go to a grocery store and try to categorize people by whether or not they had a WM when they were a child. Can you tell the difference?
I have read studies going into young adulthood. Not recently though and I don't know if they're available on line. However, several studies that have found differences have found that they wash out by the end of elementary school. If the differences get smaller as kids get older and diminsih to the point they're not enough difference for the average person to tell by the end of 6th grade, why would anyone think that they come back later?
Not surprisingly, the biggest differences are seen in the younger years. As kids get older, differences disappear. I only know of one that is long lasting and that is a self esteem boost for the dd's of WM's who also have higher educational goals and attainment.
