Which came first, the title or the SAHW?
| Fri, 12-19-2003 - 9:04am |
Last night I attended my husband's work Christmas party. I sat with the CEO, CFO, CTO, COO (Chief operations officer, I didn't know that acronym, I had to ask), Creative Director, Marketing Director and their wives. Near the end of the evening it was just we wives chatting mostly about kids. I made the observation that even though all the wives were intelligent, educated and accomplished women, not a single one (except me), woh. They are all SAHM's.
Any thoughts on why that might be? I have my own opinion but I'd like to hear from everyone else first. Do you think they sah because of their husbands jobs or their husbands have their jobs because the wives stay home? Or doesn't it matter?

Maybe it is a misfire in the neurons. Maybe the dad passed down a psychosis through some DNA map. Maybe there is just such a thing as evil.
The point was that education does not create "better" people. I am not quite sure why someone would want to point the finger at the mother's of these men.
Clearly, she's the kind of poster who looks for people's emotional weaknesses and then exploits them for the perverse amusement she gains from watching the reaction.
Just ignore her posts; she no longer deserves the courtesy of having her "opinions" noticed or acknowledged.

I can say though that I truly respect you. You have shown countless times that you are a fabulous mother who has a wonderful family. I can relate with reference to the constant care.....I work with special needs students (non ambulatory, non verbal). But even if you don't have any experience caring for a child with special needs....a truly good person would be compassionate and understand your position.
Bottom line, you know in your heart that you are a good mother, you have a wonderful family...That's what matters....
Well said!
This is why I don't much debate this with CLW any more - it seems we're just worlds apart on the definition of "better person."
I think the rest of your post belies your last paragraph.
For shame.
Eileen, consider the source.
This is not worth your tears.
