Quoting AMCMSM:Happy well adjusted children does contribute to society. Do you believe that working outside the home is the only way to add anything to society?

That still doesn't make me lazy. Just because you work and I don't doesn't mean I am lazy. Thats not how that works. It just means that my DH makes enough money that I can concentrate all my efforts on making his life, our kids' lives, and our home as comfortable as possible.

And some of us work 10 hour days and do all the housework at home and take care of our children. No kudos for you.
Quoting Anonymous:I am a sahm and I am not lazy. I do my share. I cook, clean, teach our children, all while DH is at work. I work 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. He works 10 hour days 4 days a week. I don't ask him to do much when he is home. I don't think Sahms are lazy at all.

No, I work, volunteer, and have a happy child. I just think that raising a happy successful child contributes far more to society than any job I could work.
saying that you contribute nothing to society by being a SAHM is just as silly as saying you can not be good mother if you work.

Are you incapable of having happy, well-adjusted children AND contribute to the betterment of society?

I think you should expect more of yourself.

I work outside the home but take my kid every day.
I'm totally more awesome than all ya'll.

I think I need to get my hummus and chips.

So...you have nothing against SAHM's, you just think you're better than they are. Got it.
