Or it's possible you are projecting.

Or it's possible that you are not getting the respect you think you deserve because you are starting at the bottom rung in a new profession. Or something else. Because if you feel you are not getting respect, I think it is a feeling thing & maybe you are reading other's minds about this.

Unless you have some story for us about a number of people who have come up to you & flat out told you that they do not respect you because you are a teacher?

This is a serious question, do you think WOHP "can" be just as valuable to their children?

I don't think that a sahp is any "more" valuable to a child than a wohp and a good dc provider.

You know, the "Good Parent' thing and all...

no, since wohms raise their children each and every day too.

<< If that friend did feel that way, would you try to convince them they shouldn't? >>

convince her that she shouldn't feel like she "had to" sah to raise kids? yeah, I would have a conversation around that and she'd be able to see how well I've done with mine. If she was truly conflicted, I would work with her to make a list of pros and cons for each position -- and would go as far as to help her research her various dc options and what could work within her budget.

>>Not that this is any of my business, you didn't reply this to me but actually no YOU CAN NOT!

Make your own statements, disagree all you want with someone, but you can not inject your own meaning into anyone's statement, that's what is called putting words into someone's mouth.<<

No, no, I agree with you! LOL I was trying to point out what happens when one does that. As you can see, ppl don't like it when it done to them.

I was trying to prove a point.
