SAHMs lie about working, Unemployed moms lie about staying home. WTF?
Other ways to listen: iTunes ♦ Stitcher ♦ TuneIn ♦ SoundCloud ♦ Google Play
I keep hearing women who work from home — some earning a lot of money — call themselves “stay-at-home moms.” Meanwhile, I see moms who are un- or under-employed who go out of their way to make sure that no one things they are stay-at-home moms. The horror!
Bottom line: No one is really ascribing to the “We all must respect each other's decisions, and support one another in the mom-tribe!” That is bull. Each one of us has very strong feelings about what is best for families and women, and you and I make sure everyone knows where we fit into that paradigm — whether explicitly or passive-aggressively.
Have a listen.
