Please please please tell me this didnt really happen(??) If so, how utterly ignorant, clueless, and downright thoughtless. And what a scary thought that someone with that attitude is teaching our children.

I truly believe that not one side has it easier or more difficult. It's all in how you are programmed, how you think. I did both sides- was at home while DD was young, now i work outside the home. I am not a good housekeeper/homemaker, and trust me when i say I'm not bragging. I wish I had more ability when it came to that. I truly admire those of you that can keep the house running and organized.

When i was in college, in one class we were discussing women and their roles. This one girl said that she hated the women that worked at home and thought they were doing something good. She said, "We didnt fight for women's rights just to have women stay at home, whether working or not. I was raised in daycare and i turned out fine."

Yea.... ahem, i was working at home at the time. So i politely raised my hand and waited my turn. then i unleashed on this young girl that seemed to know it all. I was like "Excuse me? We fought for women's rights so we would have a choice in staying at home or joining the outside workforce. I am grateful that i have the opportunity to work at home and enjoy my daughter. " I went on but you get the point. I then told her that just because she was raised in daycare did not mean that it was meant for every single child out there. NOTHING wrong with daycare but for some families, it just might not be their thing. Looking back, my DD might have benefited from daycare= as since my stepson is older and doesnt live with us, she is basically an only child.


Can I put a twist on my answer to this game?


You know you're a work-outside-the-home mommy when you attend a school function and everyone knows your DH..... but no one knows you. Talk about feeling crummy.
