    *sigh*

    Who cares about Caitlin Flanagan. She's just another rich bitch. I tire of reading about the lives of people who leave the day to day crap to "the help". Her insecurity about her own life comes through loud and clear - if she weren't so insecure, she wouldn't need to express her razor edged criticisms of people who either choose differently, or don't ever have the opportunity to make a choice between staying at home or working. And since she didn't make a choice but did both (sort of), who cares about her useless, ignorant opinions?
