I'm getting a kick out of this. The Republicans are pretending to be outraged and the administration is going all out to condemn those comments. President Obama even talked about how being a mother is the toughest job in the world.

Motherhood is not even close to being the toughest job in the world - especially when it's a stay-at-home mom. Sure, they have shit they have to do and it's important to raise children well, but it's not like it's tougher than working on an oil rig, building a skyscraper, or being on a bomb squad.

Moms are great, but if their job was really the toughest in the world, Mrs. Romney wouldn't have had five kids.

According to her son who was on Piers Morgan, she got up every day and cooked and cleaned during the week and then only had a lady come in once a week on the weekend.

And he would certainly have no reason to lie about it, would he? The fact that the Romney's employ 5 maids is not germaine to the issue, is it?

Raising two daughters as well

Oh wow... she was REALLY slummin' it.

Our society and greed today has forced the mothers of today from the homes into the workforce. Look what we choose to pay for today that many of our parents never did. Cell phones, cable, Internet, onstar, sat radio, wifi, Internet subscriptions, and so on.
So blame it on technology, not income.

Agree 100%. Staying home and raising kids is work, but it's a stretch to say that its "hard" work or harder than other jobs. Changing diapers, cooking, cleaning, driving the kids here and there...there's a reason these are low paying jobs if you were to hire someone to do them.

And here's my question: Did Ann Romney go get a job AFTER she was done raising kids?? Or is she still picking up after them all day? Or is she just a full-time grandmother now? And if she's a full-time grandmother, why aren't her daughter-in-laws taking care of their own children?

Yeah, this is all a bunch of nonsense. When we had our first kid, we decided that my wife would stay at home and raise the kids until they started school full time. When our second/last kid entered 3rd grade, my wife returned to work part time. By the time he was in 5th grade, my wife started working full time. So you can do BOTH.

Did Ann ever try to get an outside job, which would qualify her to give economic advice to her husband?

That was lars, better known as liars.

This is true. Now since the democratic party looks to cover their butts, the media will let this slide. Just the opposite about the republicans taking away women's birth control. This is still a hot topic for the media. All about politics, and nothing more.

Your examples are tiny expenses compared to health care costs, home & auto loans, groceries, utilities, etc. Plus your examples are only getting cheaper because they are technology.

Rosen doesn't work for the campaign.
