Ann Romney: Not All Moms Have the Choice to Be a Stay-At-Home Mom

Other than the fact that she has MS, which is certainly a struggle no matter what, her life has been remarkably easy. And even with the MS she has been very lucky. After all she always has the best medical care and medical bills aren't keeping her up at night, nor are worries of what she's going to do when the MS is so bad she can't work. Which are things most MS victims suffer with all their lives.

She has nothing in common with your wife, so stop giving yourself airs.

If I were wealthy and my wife had MS, it would be a very difficult struggle and hard. If I were poor and my wife had MS, it would be MUCH worse, especally if we did not have insurance.
 
Yes Jarod, Unlike your messiah Obama who refuses to release his grades (probably because they are worse than Bush's), it is known that Romney graduated with honors from BYU, was cum laude (top third) at Harvard Law and top 5% in Harvard Business School.

So you agree that canidates should release records? Right? As far back as say, birthcertificates? What about your messiah's tax returns? His father said releasing tax returns way back into the past is the right thing to do! Romney WONT! I wonder why, there must be something there, right? I mean thats what the argument about the birth Certificate was, right?
 
Absolute idiocy. She didn't just claim it, she tried to make this same argument about Laura Bush... Yeah frickin' weird. A Billionaire who married very rich actually said that Laura had "never done any real work"... (BTW - She was a Librarian and a Teacher before she became a stay at home mother)...

You have what I call "partisan memory loss"...

Did someone say that if Therza Kerry does it, that makes it okay?
 
Several people in this thread who posted the cartoons, etc. You are being deliberately obtuse.

To me those cartoons lampoon the idea that AR had it hard raising 5 kids, not that she has had an easy life. I dont really understand why her having MS was a part of this. I know I would feel a LOT less stressed if I knew that my kids college would get paid no matter how successfull I am or am not in business. I know I would be a lot less stressed if I knew my kids would get top notch health care even if I could not afford insurance.
 
I just read the cartoon, it lampoons the idea that every mother has a choice to stay at home or not.... not that Ann's life was easy!

I don't have any kids but I babysit my sisters kids, one who is 4 and twins who are 15 months. It is freaking hard work. Even if you have help it is hard work. I have a lot of respect for moms because it is not easy.

Oh, I love kids, I bet you have a great time with them!

I love it! I also love that Uncle Cawacko gets to home and not be with them 24/7. :)

I think my sister is an excellent mom but there are days where she calls and says 'please come over before I kill my 4 year old'.

I could not imagine being a single mom with multiple kids.

Energetic four year olds can be a challenge. The twins are at a cute age developmentally, too!

My youngest grand is 18 mos. and so very smart, she sings the Honda commercial, Crazy Train, she goes, dah, dah, dah, dah, eieieiei! It is so cute, I just want to squish her guts out! Her vocabulary is amazing for her age!

Two of my nieces were 4 and 3.5 when I went back for Xmas last year... I watched them for a mere three hours and they drove me into the ground. Non-stop balls of energy. Now their younger siblings have begun walking/running as well. I am totally hiring a local babysitter to sneak over and help me when I get asked to babysit in July.

I agree.
 
My three kids, 6, 4, and 14 months are the best thing in my life, ever, hands down. Having them however has been the greatest challange of my life, ever, hands down. I have no idea how a single parent does it. My wife and I split the job 50/50 and we have a full time nanny, and its still very hard.
 
Supercandy, have you found that cite to Willard's grades?

What about the last 10 years or so of his tax returns?
 
Translation:

I've been caught. So I'll attack the source and pretend nobody notices...

Here I'll give you one you'll "respect" an article on how Laura Bush reacted from People Magazine.

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,733127,00.html

Anyway, it was definitely the wrong move for them. First it wasn't factually correct, Laura had worked as a Librarian and Teacher before choosing to be a stay at home mother, secondly it simply underlines the consistent theme that women who choose this supposedly "traditional" role are somehow of "less" value.

Not getting the "less value". Why do you perceive this this way?
