Response to Hilary Rosen's comments

[Kathi]

What I got out of this:

1) I hate twitter
2) I love daycare, so I know it's hard work for stay at home mom's. But the struggle is far different then being a woman i a workplace, so Hilary is correct in that Ann Romney shouldn't be the poster child for the Romney campaign about women in the workplace/economy.
3) When discussing any topic nowadays, words have to be so carefully chosen that we will be missing out on good thoughts and ideas for fear of a misstep. We need to create open dialogue instead of just rush to be outraged about everything.

agree with everything but number 1. it's fun.

Hilary Rosen ‏ @hilaryr
When I said @AC360 Ann Romney never worked I meant she never had to care for her kids AND earn a paycheck like MOST American women! #Truth

when looked at it that way, she's right.

I have no trouble supporting the notion of motherhood being a full-time, important and difficult job. What I do have a problem with is the idea of having five kids (all hers) in a world with a population that recently topped SEVEN BILLION!

this is exactly what I was thinking. Having 5 kids is irresponsible.

Happy Birthday Ann!

Let's be fair, Obama himself made an equally idiotic comment that stay at home mom's is the toughest job in the world. Talk about pandering. Such bs. It may be one of the toughest for what, 4-5 years...then it's one of the easiest.

Absolutely... that is why I hate politics. Make a big deal out of a stupid out of context comment, get people fired up about it, then hit them up for fundraising.

And yes, stay at home is a very tough job until school starts. Then after that... pretty damn easy.

breaking news... the rich don't have to work

I mean really if any of us won the lottery 313 million would we work? nope...
maybe pretend work

When I was young and left my job along with my best buddy at the time, she and I got hit
with so much crap from the working Moms for being stay at home Moms.
This the early 80's.

After a few times and a few cocktails my friend came up with a good one to shut them up ...

"who would work if they didn't have to? I mean really..." granted it was smug but
bless her heart worked every time.

Are we supposed to hate the rich just cause they are ... isn't that petty jealousy?

I agree most of the very wealthy do not understand what working families experience
but when it comes down to mothers worrying, mothers loving, we are all the same.
Five boys... yikes! Good work Ann!

I think perhaps in the Romney's case they ended up with a first string trying to have
the little girl they always wanted
understandable ...
