I am a sahm- i chose my path because it was what both my dh and myself had when we were younger- feels natural to me. I had a good career which I could return to when I please. I love having time with kids, being part of pta etc, no way would I say my friends who are working mothers are wrong etc- its their choice, they make time for their children in different ways, plus financially they may need to work altho a few of my friends who do work are not in this catagory they just choose to work.
I feel a bit put out that cherie thought that sahm are a bunch of 'yummie mummies' who has comprised their womens lib status!
I know there has been a lot press regarding the harm working mothers have on their children but i think thats a load of rubbish, I am not advocating either decision I just wish sometimes people would keep their controversial opinions to themselves as they effective make one side feel crap!
