Thank you for posting the article about stay-at-home moms. It was definitely an interesting read. While I strongly disagree with the author, obviously there is a great deal of passion on both sides of the issue.

It seems from everyone’s comments that people are only interested in judging each other, or perhaps they are already feeling very judged.
