They might be thinner (a bit), but how many of those 'working moms' die early because of stress related ailments? My guess is the percentage is a lot higher than stay at home moms.
Ok DMZ let's clarify this further for you...
Working outside the home with small pre-school children to support an empty materialistic existence or lazy turd husband = BAD
Stay at home Mom without any issues of abuse or addiction = GOOD
The evidence is incontrovertible, to argue otherwise is to try and prove the world is flat. These aberrant studies trying to grasp and any bit of data are usually bogus and in addition are of suspect origin. The great American tragedy of the last 40 years has been women with small children flooding the workplace. Not to simply exist, but to afford the 40k SUV, the vacations, the swimming pools and the $1500 mortgage payment. I have no idea of your situation but if you are the “Working Mom” or the limp wristed spouse of one I can assure you my raised by Mom at home kids will be happier, more well adjusted, driven and centered than your daycare kids hands down. As far as the skinny working Mom, it’s pretty damn easy. When I was single most of lunch hours were filled with lots of hot sex with the working Mommies. You guys who send your wives out to work watch them close and question all her male co-workers she calls “Friends”.
She said 'good values'. Is it a 'good value' to put your kids in daycare when being a mom who works outside the home isn't necessary?
Selfish, materialistic, career chaising, vain women are skinny...go figure.
Sacrifices must be made however.
FREERIDERS don't have to worry about FREeLOADERS.
I don't know. I wouldn't automatically say yes or no to that question.
My mother had a career, back when mothers generally didn't. She went back to work when I was five, in 1960, and I was never in "daycare". We had a fulltime live in housekeeper, who was always home when I got home from school.
Was my mother a bad mother, with bad values? (Be VERY careful with your answer). ;)
I would think the kids of stay at home moms thinner and healthier than those who eat all of their meals out.
Happy Mother's Day!
Mom's that value parenting over raking in the extra cash for life's luxuries, also risk their health.
Keep demonizing responsible parenting, that'll make for a better world!

Forget the children or family life, it's more important that you look good (at the office.)
"When I was single most of lunch hours were filled with lots of hot sex with the working Mommies. You guys who send your wives out to work watch them close and question all her male co-workers she calls “Friends”."
So you're saying working women all have the loose morals of the women you preyed indiscriminately upon yourself, and men should be suspicious of their wives because you were a male slut? Nice. And since when do men "send wives out to work"?
Yes. They are suspect. The key word is in this debate is "choose". If a woman chooses to have a child, she assumes a certain obligation and responsibility to the child. If she chooses to have sex without using birth control and she gets pregnant, her plans will have to change. Actions have consequences. That means she needs to put her own desires aside and put the child first. It's been known for a long time that children who are left to fend for themselves often have a much rougher time growing up. Relegating our offspring to day care centers brings another set of problems, such as the parent having less influence over the child's values. Having children is a big responsibility and it's meant for grown-ups, not for people with an adolescent belief that every "dream" should be fulfilled and we should all have everything we want, when we want it and how we want it.
One of the most destructive lies perpetuated by the feminists is that every woman should have everything she wants and have it all at the same time.
I can speak to this since I am a woman who had to make that choice. I chose to work. That means I could not choose to raise a child at the same time.
So, yes. It appears that people on this forum want to see people make responsible choices.
I see just the opposite effect. Since I work part-time, where would that study place me, I wonder.
"My problem as a stay-at-home Mom was that I cleaned everyone's plates."
Me too. And when the children are very young it is difficult to get a regular exercise routine going as they have such a knack for interrupting and getting in the way.
I find the older they get the easier it is to sneak out for a run.
Working Moms Healthier, Thinner Than Stay at Homes
Are they mentally healthy, too? Working mothers tend to have more problems with their latchkey children, guilt feelings because they are not at home, compounded by lavishing material things on their children to assuage their subconscious guilt. They let government schools raise their children into good socialists who hate America. Or their children go to private schools and ivy league colleges so they can lead us into socialism. What is so great about that?
Oh boy, I haven't read the responsive posts yet, but I can imagine that there is some mighty indignation on this thread.
That one kind of stumped me, I admit. Why would you eat off of other people's plates?
"I see just the opposite effect. Since I work part-time, where would that study place me, I wonder."
It would depend on how valuable you would be in promoting their agenda. :)
A MILF is a MILF is a MILF...
Well, the comments reflect the actual views of the posters, believe it or not. I've tried to reasonable with these people before, but have learned that it is a lost cause.
