@Clarice007 what's ignorant about it? -
@JuliaHB1 Well, it's hideously untrue - presumably not deliberately so. Therefore sexist ignorance = only explanation. -
@Clarice007 what's untrue about it? I really don't understand your point. -
@JuliaHB1 Well, who do you think looks after the children of stay-at-home mums? -
@JuliaHB1 Not to mention ignoring that there are costs to their incomes and careers. -
@Clarice007 there are costs to any parent's careers and wages from having kids, including dads who want to be properly involved day to day. - 6 more replies

@JuliaHB1 Dear real mums looking after their own children until at least 4 -5yrs old, you are mostly doing a very good, worthwhile job x -
@newmelinda did anyone imply they weren't? -
@JuliaHB1@newmelinda You kind of did imply exactly that, by denying the value of what stay-at-home mums do (while not getting paid for it) -
@Clarice007@newmelinda No, i didn't imply anything of the sort. You need to be busier. You'll spend less time taking imaginary offence. -
@JuliaHB1@Clarice007@newmelinda SAHM's do a very valuable job however they are privileged to have the choice.No additional funds required! -
@Bestmum42@JuliaHB1@newmelinda Including ppl who can't afford to work bcs of prohibitive childcare costs I suppose?#CHOICE lol -
@Clarice007@JuliaHB1@newmelinda it is indeed a choice and childminders are mostly working mum's too.Paid in general less than a cleaner. -
@Bestmum42@JuliaHB1@newmelinda For some it's a choice, NOT all. But what is your point exactly? - 3 more replies
