>>But you know, it's a debate board. If people didn't disagree, it would be just another support board.<<


I think you know Lauren, it's not about the disagreements. It's about disagreeing and holding onto something that was never said. It's about assumptions and implications. It's about not letting go even when something has been explained over and over again. That's not a discussion and that's not a debate.


This about treating ppl with respect.

>>Well, one way to counter that would be, rather than reacting emotionally, to give a list of specific ways in which SAHM's benefit not just their families, but society as a whole.<<

This has been done and the flip side shot back with, "Well makes you think WM can't do that," or similar statements.

Believe whatever you want. It really doesn't concern me.

You might not like teachers and you might not like being a teacher, but no, teachers as a group are not of a lower SES than engineers.

I agree, both are college educated and generally earn respectable salaries.

What contribution to society do SAHM's make by SAH that WOHM's cannot make?
