Everyone who got offended by this woman's comment is for a lack of better words dumb. its clear the motherhood and being part of the American workforce is different.

its the same as comparing Students with people who already work. You just can't.

it's hard being a student, its never easy but you can't compare a student with someone who works for a living.

America is becoming too sensitive, and I'll tell that once I get my Diploma, I'm on the next Flight to Canada.

Her choice of wording was poor, but I understood the point that Hilary Rosen was attempting to make. Working is easier than being a stay at home mom, unless you can afford housekeepers and nannies. From my experience, staying at home to raise kids is far more difficult than putting in 40 hours at a job, but it's laughable to compare Mrs. Romney to the average stay-at-home-mom because she didn't have the kind of stresses that make that job so difficult. For example, eliminating the never ending job that cooking and cleaning up for children becomes, well that takes away a huge part of the work involved. Being able to afford caregivers when mom needs an hour or two away to care for herself, maybe run a comb through her hair or take a shower if she has little kids, that makes the difference between burnout and thriving. Average American moms worry about money. They make do without things that they need. They go without vacations or eating out because children are expensive. The fact that Mitt Romney would attempt to relate his own wife's experience with that of an average American stay-at-home-mom in an effort to reach out to them, well that's was silly, and in that way I agree that Mrs. Romney doesn't have a clue what my life is like, even though we're both moms.
