I would like to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU - thank you for finally for a show which supports and illustrates the other side of women and celebrates their renewed sense of identity.
I MUST ask, how is this show disgusting? We don't know that the children are being shipped off to daycare. Maybe Dad is taking on a bigger role at home and spending more time with the girls. If anything she is now a role model for her girls and probably her girls' friends too. Are you sitting there saying to your girls - oh no don't worry about college, you're only going for your MRS. degree. I doubt it. Contradicting yourselves then? Yes.
Most of these posts are likely from the mothers who call their children's teachers classrooms at least one a week or are featured on the Biggest Bash where SAHM try and out-do one another for their 6 year old's birthday party. THAT is disgusting! Stop trying to live vicariously through your children and SUPRISE there is an entire world out there.
It is the most annoying thing to attempt to have an adult conversation with someone and they can't because their lives are their kids. It is really sad.
Why shouldn't these women featured on the show live and pursue their dreams rather than running themselves ragged for their kids and hit up yoga once a week with other moms?
Again, I ask how is this disgusting? It is rather enlightening. I think those who disagree should remember what they dreamed to do when they were 12 or 13 and try it for a week - chances are they would have a difference of opinion. Maybe even that you're not fulfilled with driving your kids around, doing laundry, cooking then cleaning all over again.
I have to agree with these recent posts - go play with your playdoh and try and have a life.
I think it's also interesting considering the divorce rate is so high, especially with couples who have been married for years and have older children.
What would you do if you were a SAHM and you are getting divorced? Or your husband lost his job? Or got sick or died suddenly?
It's always nice to have a skill to fall back on, because you never know what the future brings.
I know this will set some SAHM off but the kids do not always have to be first priority 100% of the time. I agree with the statement that women whose live ARE their kids can be annoying to talk to.

Isn't that a great deal of why helicopter parents are becoming a BIG pain in the patoot to everyone?
The world does NOT revolve around the kids 100% of the time. Parents HAVE to have lives and identities of their own. If they don't, they are teaching their child that the child, NOT the parent, rules and no one else is important.
