The first time I heard of this I thought it was fluke, now that it's the third time I need your opinions/insights.
I know some moms stay at home, and other moms work outside the home. I understand that. Some moms even have home based businesses while other moms work full time at the office and then some, I get all that.
What about moms that put their kids in daycare 10-12 hours a day and DO NOT work? They're not running a home based business, not attending college classes, not caring for an ailing parent, etc.
All 3 of them refer to themselves as stay at home moms. Are they really "stay at home moms" when their infants and toddlers are at daycare 60 hours a week?

Definitely NOT. They're in no way deserving of the title, stay at home mom. They just want to live the single life but not do any work that comes with life. Their husband pays for their living expenses. The daycare takes care of their kids. And what do they contribute to society??? Nothing. They suck up a bunch of valuable oxygen and are completely selfish, useless, and worthless. And they probably complain to their husbands about how much work they do when they more than likely have maids who come every week to clean the house and I'm sure they suck at cooking. In my opinion, they are not worthy of being called a mom because really, who are they taking care of??? No one but themselves.

I think that is ridiculous! Why on earth would you pay someone else to raise your child unless you had to!?! I believe these women are lazy & possibly self centered. I am a stay at home mom. I wouldn't have it any other way! I love raising my babies and believe no one takes care of your baby/child like you do! There are days when I need to "get away" but thats what Moms day out is for. I chose to give up a career that I had invested 6 years into because I believe that raising our children is the #1 most important job that we're put on this earth to do. Once again Why would you deliver your baby into the arms of someone that is "just doing his/her job" and does not truely love or care for your child? I will go back to work when my youngest goes to kindergarten.
and as an end note: just because you give birth to a baby does not make you a mom.

I agree it just doesn't seem right. I understand the mom's that stay at home and there kids are in grade school. I mean really try finding a job that's only from 8am - 2pm it's not easy to do. Plus while there in school you can clean house and do all the other thing's that you have to do.
But I don't understand the mom's that put their kids in daycare and don't work. Why pay someone else to watch your kids if all your doing is sitting at home? I would give anything to be able to stay home with my daughter but there's just no way that I can afford to. I just don't get it.

Heck no! A stay at home mom, takes care of her kids during the day. I am a stay at home mom. When I first thought about being able to stay at home, I was like all right! I get to read and watch t.v. all day. Haha! I don't even get a chance to sit down during the day very much! I wonder what this women does all day when her baby is at day care and she doesn't have a job.

What abotu the moms who have children in school for 8 hours a day? They can't be stay at home moms because obviously their kids aren't even there. I agree with the first two answers. Shouldn't these women be considered house wives?

socialites
My mother and sister both cared for children a family like this. They were well off and the wife did not work but was never home. As I grew older I learned more and realized what really was going on. He husband was a businessman and while he was working she was at the country club shmoozing with their wives. In a way she was working and keeping some of those business relationships going from another angle. She also organized functions for him and did fundraisers. I'll bet she was wishing she got paid for all her PR work (then again, she may have been on the payroll for all I know).

No moms who put there kids in day care are not stay at home moms, if they are not working or running a business from home. I think that is laziness!

No they are not stay at home moms. They are stay at home wives. You have to take care of your children to be a mom. That's almost like putting your child up for adoption, staying home and calling yourself a stay at home mom.

Hey! I am a MOM that stays at home. My daughter goes to school...my son goes to daycare. This does not make me less of a mother! I feel it makes me a better mother. My daughter is getting the well rounded education of the public school system. My son is getting the education and social skills he will need when he enters the public school system. I know that if they were both at home with me all day...I would do nothing but nag at them and get frustrated and they would learn nothing. I know that about myself. So I give them more than that. Not every mother is overflowing with that maternal thing. That does not mean that I love my children any less or want less for them or would fight for them any less. Do not judge me for knowing myself and my limits and wanting more for my children!

Sounds to me either house wife, or stay at home bums, because without the kids, they ain't moms.
