If you are fed up of the WOHM vs SAHM debate (I know I am) DO NOT open the News Review bit of the Sunday Times....

[foxinsocks]

just don't do it

Oh, want to read it now!!

you soooooo want us to, then flock back to MN for a debate

don't

it's bad for your health

you have been warned

Where is it then?

Got a link?

you can read every other page other than page 4

actually, even on page 10 there is a little piece on She Who Must Not Be Mentioned

I think better to avoid the whole section entirely

more egging on to read it!!! I didnt buy a paper today

Daisy Waugh (where India Knight's bit normally is)

what's the title of the article?

'Turbo Mums Don't Work'

I cant work, Im too busy looking after my child!!!

Turbo Mums Don't Work

don't read it though

Oh god, another onslaught

Jesus effing Christ.

Wish I hadn't read that now.

pmsl, this reporter is crazy. My ds with his sahm was dressing himself at 3 and making his bed by 4. He has no interest in me when we are out socially so he is fiercely independant.

She doesnt know what she is talking about.

I did try and warn you

Agree TenaLady.

My brothers - raised by a SAHM - are the only grown men I know of that know how to work a washing machine or cook a decent meal.

Bollocks to Daisy who knows eff all about it - clearly.

You are not taking her personal opinion based on an extreme one off experience seriously, surely.

There is a LOT of this sort of thing around on MN and in the media generally lately though. Natural childbirth vs CS, SAHM vs WOHM, young mums vs older mums etc. It is hurtful for everyone and very depressing

The underlying message seems to be that women are damned whatever they do. So no change there then.

snort

bits I really love

Big Handbag = SAHM
Useless Monsters = children of SAHM
Pale skinned children = mothers too 'precious' to let them out

wonder if she has children? shirley not, one would hope

yes Greensleeves

and it just confirms what most men have known for a long time ggrr that women are their own worst enemies

Her column is crap every week. Boring.
