Whether at SAHM mom or a working mom each and everyone of us performs the hardest job of anyone else, parenting. Can't we all just call it like it is? Getting paid monetarily or not, we are all working mothers.
Do you agree?

wow james, someone did you wrong didn't they? For everyones information I am a working mother, not a sahm. James must be paying child support out the wazoo to have such quantities of venom towards women. I feel sorry for his wife and son to have to deal with him.

Too true. I'm a full time mother as looking to go back to work. And I'm dreading it - and my baby is 12!
She still needs me and hates the thought of me not being home when she comes home from school.
Edit: Hey beautifulirishgirl - what will you say when you are no longer beautiful or a girl? You will regret then that you couldn't "squirt" kids out.
My children are my greatest achievement - I'm afraid your career doesn't compare.

I agree. Also, being a parent is the most important job in the world in my opinion because it is the future of humanity. To be responsible for the development of another human being is an awesome task and it is not treated with the respect it deserves. If you want to know how important it is, just take a look at the human adults whose parents failed them as children. I always wished I could have stayed home with my children. But it didn't work out that way.

OMG THANK YOU!! It is hard being a mom! Its hard being a stay at home mom! Even though my husband thinks its a peice of cake. BUT...BUT he has never stayed at home with the baby for a whole day evn! I am always here. He hasnt even gotten up in the middle of the night with him never. But now he does get up in the mornings on his days off and lets me sleep a little longer! ... Its very stressful! Some men dont get it... Just to get a break when the baby takes a nap is like the most wonderful thing ever.. And ignore "beautiful" she is a BI**H... Researching cancer doesnt contribute to society if your doing research on chemo and drugs or surgery to kill cancer, because it KILLS the patient in the process! Chemo CAUSES cancer. Every doctor knows that, they just dont know what else to do... As for me, I know there is a cure to cancer, as I DID cure my own! IT DOESNT take a rocket or MOLECULAR scientist to KNOW that! And "spitting out kids" definately does contribute to society !!!!

Unless you consider spending time with your children "work" (in which case your are a horrible mother and a pathetic excuse for a human being) the answer is no. I'm a full time student and also work 35-40 hours a week to support my son and girlfriend.
I would love to sit at home all day and be able to: play with my son, watch tv, and complain about what ever came to mind; while my girlfriend: worked a full time job, was a full time student, did all of the cooking, and did most of the cleaning. But someone actually has to support you materialistic cows and provide you with money to spend on frivolous crap so I have to actually work for a living instead.
I love spending time with my son and it absolutely floors me that some people consider spending time with their children "work". I guess that just goes to show what type of person you are.
Not to mention women are the ones who pressure men into marriage and then try to nag them into having kids. And then when they get what they want they complain about it.
That's like a man asking his working wife to buy him a expensive sports car, and then complaining that the maintenance required to maintain the car is too much work!
Edit:
To you mongoloids that can't read I'm not paying child support. I'm totally financially supporting my son and worthless girlfriend by working a full work week; And cooking, and doing most of the cleaning, and going to a top 30 University full time to get my degree in Finance (not exactly underwater basket weaving).
The claim that stay at home mothers have a hard job is total and complete crap. I know because when I'm not working or going to school I'm spending time with my son. Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
If your too slow to actually read and understand a paragraph then please refrain from commenting and subjecting others to your stupidity. Thanks!

Well said!!!!
And obviously "beautifulirishgirl" does not have kids to say you "squirt" them out. Why are you answering in pregnancy and parenting if you do not have kids or intend on squirting any out!! And the fact that you have to mention your degree says a lot about you.

No.
Working mothers are full time employees and part time parents. There is no way to be a full time parent when your child is in the care of someone else for 45-55 hours per week.
How about we start being truthful about what two income families are doing to our society and children?

I agree. I've done both, and it's way harder to stay at home. It's very rewarding though.

No I am a career woman who does not have children. So no, not all women are "working mothers".
Thank you for correcting yourself. Not all women choose to squirt out kids. Some of us have other interests and desires.
As far as the "rocket scientist" goes, I'm a molecular biologist. I do cancer research. How do you contribute to society, and what is your education level?
BTW, "contributing to society" does NOT include squirting out kids.
