This question is based on the opinion of other people, I'm asking for your "honest" opinion, not a "politcally correct" statement. I generally try not to criticize anyones parenting choices, as I do not have children, and therefore have never been put in the unique position of making choices based on that. Anyway....

When you see a young mother who has graduated highschool and is making the "choice" to be a stay at home mom, as compared to say, a college graduate in their mid 30s deciding to be a stay at home mom, do you feel differently? Is it more self sacrificing if someone is leaving a "career" as opposed to a "job" to raise a child? If someone is not formally educated and decides to stay home with a child, is that different from someone with a masters degree that decides to do so? what is your intial reaction when you see these situations?
 
I have no initial reaction to either of them,education doesn't matter,if someone wants to stay home to be with their child good for them,one is no more self sacrificing than the other,they are both giving up something to be home with their child.
 
There is no difference. A SAHM is someone who had decided to stay home with her children. It doesn't matter whether she is well educated or not. I personally think that all mother's should stay at home with their kids, but I realize that doesn't work for everyone and there are different reasons. That doesn't make one type of mother better than the other.
