zk, your insults to me on this thread don’t bother me but are very telling about you. Why don’t you endeavor to just stick to the topic at hand and refrain from hurling insults at people who don’t have the same opinions that you do? The examples you gave about yourself here are fine. It’s perfectly legal to be “messy” (and have a partner who will pick up after them). We get it. OTOH, it’s okay for FIH/brian and others to consider themselves “superior” to messy people because they are clean and tidy.[/quote]
What about when you insult people because they don’t share your same priorities regarding housing choices, family characteristics, etc.
Things like this little nugget…

There was a recent discussion here about how “valuable” SAHP’s are to society. I do understand that there are some very good household managers out there but in my experience, I have seen more SAHP’s do little to nothing to “earn their keep” than ones that do (except spend money). This isn’t to negate in any way, shape or form that personal choice, but I just haven’t seen any really spectacular household mgrs who are SAHP’s. On the other hand, I’ve seen several GREAT household mgrs who had full time careers while raising children (that doesn’t mean they did everything themselves).

Talk about insulting, ignorant stereotyping. So the majority of SAHPs have messy houses, don’t work, and just spend their family’s money?!? I can show you the exact opposite all day long. This is truly the sort of ignorant ranting of yours that gets my blood boiling.
Still waiting for those numbers to show how the second income-earner in a household is making a positive income (which you seem to think is the most important thing a parent can do, and the only valuable contribution a parent/spouse can make), especially when small children (or even elderly parents/chronically ill family members) are involved.
