This woman obviously needs to somehow justify to herself what she is doing, or maybe something is not quite right with her head.</p> <p>Isabel, your husband's comment is hilarious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted/page/2#post-196249 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 15:57:26 +0000 Carole 196249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well said, everyone...not more to add other than, how sad, how very very sad! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted/page/2#post-196244 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 15:50:24 +0000 biscuitsmom 196244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think she is a very ignorant person trying to get attention... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-196194 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 11:40:08 +0000 Dusty 196194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It doesn't get me too worked up as a stay at home mom, it just proves that she's a nutcase. I mean really - as payment for having sex with my husband, I get to change and wash poopy diapers, clean up puke, scrub floors, deal with tantrums, wash dishes, do laundry and go grocery shopping with two whiny kids in tow. I don't own nor have I ever owned a LV handbag (the closest I've ever come is an obviously fake Kate Spade I found at a garage sale) and the last time I had a pedicure was before my son was born 5 1/2 years ago. Yeah, I get my food for free, but I have to cook most of it. I don't think any prostitute would work for that kind of salary. </p> <p>Nope, crazy lady has obviously never actually met a stay at home mom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-196188 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 11:10:03 +0000 stringy 196188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, too true about the LV bag Katiepea! </p> <p>I'm sure this would have infuriated me if I'd seen it myself, but hearing it secondhand all I can think is how sad her childhood must have been if she thinks this is a normal or to-be-admired way to live, and she's just more successful at it than other people. She's clutching at straws of acceptance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-196166 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 06:57:04 +0000 Katiepea 196166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, I actually had to giggle at this woman's comments. </p> <p>She has to live with herself and good luck to her. I must say that I'll never look at a LV bag quite the same way again, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-196161 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 06:39:53 +0000 RoseandJoan 196161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, your hubby made my LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195957 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 23:30:46 +0000 Isabel 195957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are some pretty hysterical and astute responses. </p> <p>And Tarzy you are right, it hit a nerve for some reason....I am not sure why. This woman is in her late 40s and apparently a tech whiz who had a gangbuster business and the thought that she threw it all away just makes me so sad and angry.</p> <p>I guess you are right, when you are a SAHM there seem to be few "accomplishments" and it can be days full of "nos", so to see a really accomplished woman be "kept" is somehow jealous.....</p> <p>Medusa, your post really brought to the forefront some great points. </p> <p>NK HYSTERICAL !</p> <p>After I told my husband the story, he replied, " I am 46, balding and drive a Chevy sedan...I will buy you a LV bag NOT to sleep with someone else !" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195848 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 19:26:29 +0000 chewyspaghetti 195848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>'attractive hooker' is an oxymoron! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195847 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 19:24:08 +0000 Lori 195847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not a SAHM here, but there is no comparison at all, she IS a prostitute in every way possible, besides that she is not standing on some dingy street corner at night selling her "wares." She is comparing herself to the hardest, most humble, non-monetarily rewarding job on the earth in order to make HERSELF feel better about what she does. She will one day get a reality check, probably when it is too late for her all she'll have to keep her company are her LV bags, designer clothes and shoes, which of course, she'll have to end up selling just in order to pay rent on her one bedroom condo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195810 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 18:29:18 +0000 Maya 195810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Medusa has something going there. Any time money and men are in the picture at the same time, it immediately brings up the word prostitution. </p> <p>I think all attractive people are a bunch of hookers! It has been proven time and again that good looks and attractiveness are rewarded in numerous ways, including financially. Here at YLF we all aim to be more attractive and therefore more hookerish :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195807 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 18:22:58 +0000 Lisa 195807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow this woman is a little nuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195775 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 17:49:48 +0000 tarzy 195775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can understand why it jabs at you. It's a haughty, ridiculous thing to say. And absolutely motivated purely by self-promotion. It's easy for us to tell you "Forget about it," but I think it can be useful to try to understand why certain things "get to us."</p> <p>Being a SAHM can be a job that's not valued much by our current society. And maybe you're feeling a little under-appreciated in your own life right now? And that's why a comment like this hurts so much? </p> <p>As someone who just turned 53, I'm starting to feel a sort of invisibility that comes with that age in our society. How do I fit in anymore? Does anyone care what I have to say? I haven't made my mark yet in the world - will I ever? Sometimes I feel a real wave of sadness at being this age and not having done what I wanted to do. Certain comments - by friends, strangers, the media - can get to me.</p> <p>I would say acknowledge the feelings, process them, and try put them in perspective (and remember the source - a woman who feels she has so little value in life that she thinks all she has to offer is her body.) Then celebrate your own fantastic, love-filled, meaningful life! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195746 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 17:01:11 +0000 Sparky 195746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She's just saying this because she's trying to justify her choices in life and drum up publicity for her book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195733 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 16:30:54 +0000 Kristine 195733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I guess from a sociological perspective her comment doesn't bother me. Men and women want things from each other, it's just a matter of how outright they are about the bargaining. But I'm not a stay at home mom, so maybe that's why it doesn't resonate with me the same way. I also agree that I'm sure she's just looking for attention and said this just to be outrageous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195712 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 15:37:37 +0000 chewyspaghetti 195712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's just not worth it to be put out and worked up over someone else's opinion. What's that quote about opinions? They are like a certain body part- everyone has one and nobody thinks theirs stinks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195685 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 14:32:19 +0000 medusa 195685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lynne has a good point - she was probably being deliberately provocative to get publicity for her book.</p> <p>Whenever women get money for something that even tangentially involves sex, some people will say it's prostitution. It is a LITTLE bit like prostitution, because money and sex are (however remotely) involved. In that sense, lots of things are a little bit like prostitution - women who work as strippers, models, even some actors and singers are accused of being prostitutes because they get paid to take their clothes off. Being a stay at home mom falls into this (ridiculous) category. So people are going to say it. </p> <p>Now is stay-at-home motherhood REALLY the same thing as being a prostitute? Well, let's see. Is it illegal? Is it shameful to admit to your neighbors? Is it your mother's worst fear about what you'll become when you grow up? Do male politicians who are involved with it shamed out of public office? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195649 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 13:18:33 +0000 lynne 195649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll play devil's advocate here - if she was being interviewed about a book she had written, could she not be looking for publicity? I agree that her comment is disgusting, but I think she's trying to incite controversy for publicity's sake. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195630 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 11:27:12 +0000 April 195630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ICK. </p> <p>Just... ick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195602 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 08:50:14 +0000 rute 195602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh.. that's sad! When old she will look back and see she did nothing with her life, no job, no kids and no one to support her when old. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195601 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 08:48:25 +0000 Louise 195601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NK you are hilarious!!! I think being a SAHM is far more demanding and no comparision I'm sure most of you never have time to get your nails done!! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195579 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 05:52:29 +0000 AJ 195579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Obviously her life experiences are very limited and she thinks it's fabulous to allow these men to define how she should live. I find it very interesting that she feels she is in control. The poor gal can't see beyond herself and her closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195575 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 05:36:08 +0000 RoseandJoan 195575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There has always been a section of society who are happy to behave in this manner she is just being honest but comparing her situation to SAHM is just ridiculous a child is not a Louis Vuiton handbag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195560 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 04:18:18 +0000 chewyspaghetti 195560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*snort*<br /> Natalie- you crack me up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195541 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 03:37:58 +0000 NK 195541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, as a SAHM, if my husband is only keeping me around for sex, he's totally getting ripped off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195522 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 03:16:16 +0000 Maya 195522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, haha. Sorry, too little sleep + not enough tea is a toxic combination for my brain.</p> <p>She simply seems like one of those women who isn't able to see past her own experiences. She is being used by sleazy men so she assumes all women are. She assumes that because the men she attracts are creepy, all men must be creepy. </p> <p>Unlike her, however, most women do not actively seek out creepy men by posting creepy ads. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195515 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 03:08:58 +0000 Michelle 195515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Part of me wants to read this, because I find it really hard to wrap my head around such attitudes and almost need convincing that they exist!!<br /> The rest of me is just floored at the lengths people will go to solely for the sake of luxury. Does she not realize she could maintain this standard of living all on her own if she had the right education/career? She may see her chosen path as a form of entrepreneurship, but I beg to differ. And comparing her actions to those of the average stay-at-home mom is absolutely absurd. She presupposes that women have gotten married and chosen to have children solely for security, failing to account for love/maternal instincts/the myriad other factors at play in decisions like this. She may believe women like us are being judgmental of her lifestyle (and isn't really wrong there), but she is passing judgment to an even greater degree on a huge segment of the population that she clearly hasn't taken the trouble to understand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195509 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 03:02:38 +0000 Sveta 195509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I understand that was not a job interview but TV interview...<br /> Isabel, I just can imagine this woman 20 years later with no personal relationships based on love and affection and her not being a commodity anymore because of her age.. I pity her really! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195505 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 02:57:38 +0000 Maya 195505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...what the *$&amp;$ kind of job was she interviewing for that she thought it was a good idea to share all of this? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-am-completely-insulted#post-195500 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 02:54:34 +0000 Isabel 195500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful comment Sveta ! Thank you. I got a chuckle that she is behind the times....just some really great points. I really hope that she is happy. It seemed to me that she was trying to legitimize something that just isn't working for her. </p>
