It's a silly question. Staying at home to raise children is not 'non working'.

I am doing what we think is best and I love sometimes, so be a dear a do one.

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 05/02/2012 00:26

Because it's a bit obvious?

Because the discussion has been done to death?

No women shouldn't stick together what utter shite
The myth of sisterhood us the biggest con going
Engage your brain,if an idea appeals,has rigour, then consider it.but don't fall for some cliched gerls together rubbish.
Should males herd together by gender too.?

loving the term non working mother pmsl

oxymoron

What do these women do all day?
-Der, have you heard of the Internet?

Do they get bored/depressed?
-Only by losers like you

What about financial independence?
-There, you have something sensible worthy of discussion, but your first two questions mark you out as an idiot. So, am not going to answer you. Ner ner ner ner ner.

why is this such a contentious issue ? why can't we ask such questions- without getting abused and provoking such anger ?

No, just wasting their education.

I don't know what 'betraying your sex' means. I don't see the world as a great big game of It's a Knockout with two huge teams.

No child is in school 'all day'.

why ? I am asking a genuine question - it is something I really don't understand . What do these women do all day - especially if children are older and in school/nursery all day? Do they get bored/depressed ? what about financial independence ?

no you are- just making a thread like this and im not helping by replying but you have angered me (hmm)
now i will piss off to bed!

women should stick together!
where the hell does all this sillyness come from?

DioneTheDiabolist · 05/02/2012 00:20

No. To assume that they are is to devalue nannies, nurses, cleaners, launderers, chefs and professional shoppers.

SAHMs are totally undervalued by society. The primary purpose of feminism is to promote the value of these women. No?

Not Betraying anyone its individual choice
If woman wants to be housewife that's her look out
Doesn't impact upon me

startail · 05/02/2012 00:19

Fuck off

I can see how it suits some circumstances to do this temporarily but struggle to understand why any woman would choose it as a lifestyle long term . Genuinely puzzled - it seems such a waste.
