I find your post despicable. I don’t care how much money her husband has or how liberal you claim she is. She stayed home and raised five children, has dealt with cancer and has MS. Let me know when you do the same.
Some of you people really make me think some conservatives are as bad, if not worse, than some liberals. I guess you’re just mad she was smart enough to pick a spouse who could support them so she could stay home and raise the children they decided to have.
Your post is not addressing the issue at all...which is Anne Romney doesn’t know what it is to be in the working class of woman who have to juggle ‘the whole works’ including raising children, and working. Most woman to not have the leizure of that choice and thru no fault of their own.
I will tell you know as you requested.... I would certainly be able to attest to raising my children, with a life threatening disease,... working full-time outside the home while I was being treated throughout my lifetime, and seeing to the affairs of the household, and this after I lost my husband....so you are in no place to judge me on that note.
I KNOW what it is about, and have been on both sides of the equation. There is a huge difference for woman that Anne Romney has never known nor likely will she...and I would not have known or undertood had I not been thrust into it. The most I could do beforehand was empathize with others and help where I could. But I did not, nor can Anne Romney understand the emotionl, physical and mental strains it takes to pull it off that woman have!
I agree Beandog. No woman is forced to have a child or children and being a working mom is not a death sentence, geesh! Aren’t there a lot of working dads? What is with these women that cry and whine how hard it is to work and be a single mom? Tough! Too bad, that’s life. Been there, done that. It’s also wonderfully rewarding and satisfying taking care of the family, both at home AND financially. Ann may never know how that feels. So, she has no clue about how others may feel? Really? she has no friends or knows not one woman that works and raises a family too? I have never been abused but I can surely have sympathy and understanding for those who have. Ann is not saying she is average,,she says she has had a financial advantage. I just don’t buy into the division. Ann isn’t saying she is like the average woman, she is saying she has opinions and understands some struggles that many women have had. So what if she’s rich? That criticism just comes across as jealous and petty.

Agreed. I admire Ann Romney. I graduated law school with a two year old and had two more so have always balanced children with a career and not the faux kind like Ms. O had. I don’t believe in trying to change the past but did come to greatly admire stay at home moms and treasure the times I was able to be in that role. “Filthy” rich? Really? I have never heard that Romney’s income came from any sort of dirty business like porn movies.
And I’ve heard that Ann did not turn her boys over to nannies but that she and Mitt raised them very hands on. I suggest that you watch some youtube videos of the family.
I, like most freepers, have issues with a lot of Romney’s positions but I’m really sick and tired of people attacking him and his family for their life style and religion. Talk about distractions.
