A stay at home mom is despised because of the purity and truth of her beliefs. Those who refuse the self sacrifice of building a home for others (if life presents them the option) are angry because the wholesomeness of the stay at home mom reproaches them.

Thanks for making me throw up in my mouth. My wife works and is pregnant with our second child. She's no less of a "wholesome mother" because she works than those who sit at home and watch Sesame Street with their children. My son is well adjusted and developing faster than his cousins with stay-at-home mothers.

A stay at home mother is cooking, cleaning and doing many other tasks than constantly interacting with their child. My son sleeps for 2.5 of those hours and enjoys playing with his friends.

You should see the abuse that Mrs. WBill used to take from her "friends" and "coworkers" because she decided to stay home with the kids.

Crabs in a pot, all of them. Need to pull those that escape back down to their level. Actually, I'd bet that the ones giving her a hard time were just consumed by jealousy ("I wish I had all that!") or guilt (I wish I could stay home, too!).

We've since moved. Mrs WBill has gotten in with a couple of church / "Stay at home Mom" -type groups. The place where she works (part-time, one night a week) has new manager, one that doesn't keep pushing her to "quit this STUPID staying at home-thing and come work full-time".

Everyone is a whole lot happier, me included. Women can be incredibly catty.

Exactly! God bless.

I can see the resentment in the way your comments have been attacked here. Some people can get so jealous of the way others are willing to sacrifice for the good of their children.

I just cannot imagine paying a stranger to take care of my child just so I can have my career. But full-time motherhood is demanding, so it’s a lot easier for a lot of the whiners to just drop the kiddies off with someone else.
