I had chicken pox as a child, developed pox on my nipples, which became infected and lead to mastitis, as well as scarred nipples. When I tried to breastfeed, my baby couldnt get enough milk out. All the experts/my sister in law insisted that I wasn't doing it right, and that it would be painful in the beginning. The…

<3 this comment! I'm a (temporary) SAHM, and feel the same about my husband.

I definitely agree. I have no idea how my husband treats his colleagues, but the current field he's in, he rarely works with women. That being said, I KNOW he can be an asshole, but I also know he's usually an equal opportunity asshole in situations outside of work. :) That would be a rather interesting study though,…

Clearly, you are merely attempting to pick a fight. I read your comment about "NMN" and was clarifying that that was not the point of my argument. Obviously you have some sort of issue with the fact that I AM a housewife/SAHM, or else you wouldn't be repeatedly so dismissing and rude. Or maybe you would, I have no…

Clearly you didn't read my original comment either. The one I posted BEFORE @Kick out the Iambs posted anything.

Thanks, @Pollyanna. I wasn't even trying to defend my husband or anything like that. I don't work with him, so I have no idea what he's like at work, but he is the supervisor of our city garage, so, he's around a bunch of "dumb rednecks that drive garbage trucks" that he can't stand, not many women, other than the…

I was commenting on the fact that I am in the aforementioned situation (see my original post), and I felt very belittled and demeaned by the author of the article simply…

Thanks, Luckier. I see that several people have also broached the same subject. I have been having NO luck in finding a new job as of yet. Glad I started looking 6 months ago. Many responses have been to the tune of "oh, you haven't worked in 7 years, why do you want to work now?" or concern that I won't like the job…

Crandal, read my comment below.

See my comment below. I am a current "housewife" and I found this article to be very demeaning, I worked until my first child was 18 months old, and have stayed at home since. My youngest will start kindergarten this fall, and I plan on going back to work then. I am just as FULLY CAPABLE as any woman or man that is…

"Antiquated gender roles aren't hurting the women who choose to participate in them (i.e. happy housewives)—they're hurting everyone else: Unhappy housewives who were never told they could be doctors. Profesional, capable women who drag themselves tooth and nail to the top of their fields and still get treated like…
