What makes sense about a woman who has a great life, doesn't have to work, has a provider taking care of her, children to raise, and wants to go out and work?

This is not reality, this is about spoiled women who don't know how to appreciate what they have.

I am now watching a women who drives a Mercedes Benz, doesn't work, has a great husband who has given her a great home, two lovely children, and wants to go out and work! Is she insane?

I think she needs a dose of reality. Try living in the real world, where most women are single parents, HAVE to work and can't make ends meet, forget about the big house and Mercedes Benz, etc, etc.

This program makes no sense what so ever.

Who thought of this program?????

Why not give a day off to the WORKING WOMEN OF THE WORLD???

Perhaps because having a big house and a Mercedes is not the be all and end all of everyone's existence. There are millions of women who are fulfilled by having careers that are connected to their passions, intellectual capabilities, etc. I think you need a reality check if you think that having money automatically makes people happy. There are plenty of bored rich housewives out there.

Where in her post did she say "having money makes people happy?" She never said that-she said the woman should appreciate what she has and that she should appreciate the fact that she can stay home. I am sure there are just as many bored working women out there as well.

Actually, most of us don't have time to be bored. We're way to busy working for a living.

Ok, scenerio here is SAHM has large home + a Benz to drive. Now, I don't know about anybody else here, but tho I and my husband work for a living, I don't have a big house nor a Benz (try a 8 year old MV and a 11 year old Jeep). Most people, including myself, see the large home and Benz as status symbols. Now, if she's bored and wants to try her hand at something that's obviously missing in her life, why not? And should she decide to go for it full time, why not?

Unfortunately, it's the view of this kind of SAHM that gives the rest of ya'll a bad image, which some have earned and a lot more haven't.

But frankly, my work, both at work and at home, keep me far too busy to be bored. I wish I had more than 24 hr to get done what I need to do.

She mentioned the Mercedes, the great home, etc. and then asked if the woman were insane because she wants to work. That, to me, implies that she thinks having all that great stuff should be fulfillment enough. If being a SAHM mom fulfills her and you, that's great. However, that's no reason to think that anyone who wants something different is insane. It's really not that difficult to comprehend that not all human beings are identical to you.
