The degree of difficulty of being a stay-at-home parent is evident in a new Gallup analysis of more than 60,000 U.S. women interviewed in 2012.

Well, if some stay at home moms (not welfare types) are depressed, it is probably because they see what is happening to their husband’s job prospects and the rising cost of food. Libs want all women out of the home and kids in government-run daycare so they can be properly indoctrinated.
Wow, chip meet shoulder.
Feel free to get bent.
Actually if you read down it says that the phenomenon holds for all income levels, though for poor stay-at-homes it is worse.
Not really surprising. It is tough and isolating to be home with kids in their early years.
