I am not a mom yet, but I consider it to be the MOST important job in the world. To hear people say that moms are not setting a good example because they are not out in the workforce, bringing home a pay check is, to say the very least, disturbing! Many moms have made a choice to stay home so they can raise their children to be strong, independent, and intelligent members of society. Blogging allows mom a chance to connect with the outside world and to discuss topics about motherhood with those who understand their daily routines. I am shocked that seemingly inteligent CNN readers would react in such an ignorant manner -- since when does blogging (most likely while your children are napping, at school, playing with friends on a play-date, sleeping, etc) mean that someone is a negligent mother?

I can't believe the comments of those people. They are in the league of people who believe that a stay-at-home mom's job is not worthwhile and valuable. I totally agree with you that I would definitely not be a better mother if I were working full-time and sending my children to daycare. Not too mention that my previous career required me to stay late often and bring home my work too! Really, how would that make me a better mother? OMG! I can’t believe the comments of those people.

Their comments are WAY rude but I think it's out of 1. Jealousy that they can't be at home or 2. Ignorance. I mean I've heard so many SAHMs say working moms don't know how hard it is to be at home... Why compete? I think ALL moms work hard, be at home or not. I sometimes wish I'll be able to stay at home with our future kids but I don't think money will allow it. No really... My husband doesn't even have a full tine job right now. Will that make me go out and bash SAHMs? No... But I think it's hard for some women to watch things like "Oprah's special on 'Mommy Bloggers'" and only hear them complain about how hard it is. Yes, I'm sure it's hard, but I think the point is it's hard for every mom... working or not. But hey... a girl's gotta vent right? And if you don't like reading a vent on a blog go someplace else!! Besides, who says SAHMs are the only ones with blogs? I work (and I'm not a mom) I have a blog, and so do a lot of working moms! Ok, I'm done! :) Is it sad that i can see where they are coming from?

You usually only see ignorant comments like that by 1 or 2 people but not that many. They obviously dont understand this world and are maybe a bit jealous. Im stunned. Lucy All I can say is wow.

Normally, I keep my opinions to myself but this struck a nerve.
