Who has influenced your sah/woh
| Thu, 02-09-2006 - 2:39pm |
opinion to DIFFER. What I mean is--is there anyone on this board or in real life whose opinion/reasoning/debating/facts started to make your thinking more to the middle? As in if you thought sah or woh was best & then after some discussion/thought, you began to think that whatever is best for each family--really there is no one best way, etc.
We just really needed a new thread here!!!!!!!!

Being impressed by what someone does for a living is totally different than having respect for them. FWIW, I have had many people tell me that they are impressed at my abilities to take care of four children under the age of 7 w/o being totally stressed out or crazy. Whether or not they have respect for what I do is a different story.
And no, I don't think that people are necessarily impressed by titles that convey an advanced degree. You are a lawyer, right? I'm sure you have heard plenty of lawyer jokes. There are plenty of people out there, rightly or wrongly, who have no respect for attorneys. And then there are people in fields like teaching, social work, law enforcement, professions that are often underpaid but elicit an "impressed" response from many people. Except perhaps, elitists.

"Still one has to be better than the other."
I don't agree.

Okay, if you insist, here's why there's no difference: kids who were raised exclusively by SAHPs are no different than kids who were in othercare and who had WOHPs. Now please explain to me why I'm wrong.
Your insistence that ratio matters makes no sense. There are different ratios in different kinds of families and in different forms of othercare. Kids are quite naturally in groups throughout their lives as kids. That's just the way it is.
