Dude - what the HELL is up with women hating on other women for parenting choices. I mean, not like "I choose to torture my child with electricity and bullwhips," but more like "I'm going to formula feed" or "I choose to go back to work, and I ADMIT I LIKE IT." There, I said it.
I think the stay-at-home mom vs. working mom thing is totally ridiculous. In 2010, don't we all recognize that both are full of challenges and rewards, and both are valid choices that a woman can make? I mean, there are women who MUST work in order to pay the mortgage and feed the baby (um, hi!), and I suppose there are people who MUST stay home because daycare is too costly or for other reasons. So, I guess in that sense, there may be a disparity in how much of a "choice" each avenue actually is. But, c'mon. I'm not even going to go on about what brought about this little train of thought because it's just so stupid and mundane. Suffice it to say...ladies gotz to stick together, yo!
Also, if you have a bumper sticker that says "You've never worked full-time until you've been a stay-at-home mom"...I really, really think you suck. Darn it, I said I wasn't going to talk about how this all came about...but...seriously??? I'm looking into getting a sticker for my car that says "You've never worked full-time until you've WORKED FULL-TIME." Jesus.
