I have to say...

The whole SAHM vs. WM discussion was the politest, most mature discussion I've seen on ANY board.

Reason #1434189452 why MoMs are superior.

And I really really do appreciate it. There is so much misinformation from people who aren't MoMs and it was confusing to me.

That was pretty awesome.

I agree - I was impressed!!

Especially b/c at this very moment I am reading reviews on Amazon for potty training books and I came across this gem about the same subject that just made my head explode:

I am a SAHM by choice. I also have a college degree. Back in the days when moms actually raised their kids, rather than "farming" them out in order to continue their careers, we had fewer teen pregnancies, drug problems and broken homes, among other things. What a dumb comment by the original reviewers. Thank God there are still a few moms out there who realize that raising their kids is just as as important as being a "fighter pilot."

Thank God we all get to choose...

I think we realize that being a MoM is hard either way.

I agree. I always hear the WMs say how hard it would be to be a SAHM and as a SAHM, I have so much respect for the working MoMs. That's just as hard in my opinion- just for different reasons. It's all just a very personal decision about what is best for your family, all the way around.

I do want to add that I don't think that it is that we are superior. I know you were joking OS, but I think the reason we can have, for the most part, very consructive discussions here is because we have become wise. Mothers of multiples, in my mind, are a lot like really old people. We have had a lot of experiences crammed into a short amount of time. It makes you realize what is important and what really isn't. It makes you view the world in a way that many people don't and most never will. Not better, not worse, just a bit wiser in a way.

Totally a tangent, but I do wish we would just ignore posters who come to ask non- relevant or personal questions. Tha would make us really evolved! :-)
