Because I'm a mom... :huh:

I'm not really a chocolate bear

Lies, lies, lies.

Being a mom is "what I do". But I've never thought it necessary or even possible to boil a person down to a one-word definition. I started going by "mom of many" when I first joined a parenting e-mail list back in 2001... I've kept the same username everywhere I go. Keeps things easy to remember.

What is your feeling regarding mac & cheese in one's screen name?

You're obviously subservient to Mac and Cheese. Please become your own person.

most average people off teh street have a very small chance of completing a PHD program. lots of average people raise kids all the time.

Because of opportunity. If people were given the same assistance in getting a PhD that they get when having children, it would be easier to compare and contrast. You don't have to apply to be a parent. You just have to not screw up enough to get kicked out of the club.

Well I'm a terrible mother so I would never tout that achievement.

Deep down inside we're all subservient to Mac and Cheese

All I can say is you will always be a mom, but you might not always be a wife.

When I became a mom, I did become someone else. I didn't lose my identity entirely, but I was not the person I was before my child, I am lots of things, but being a mom is my most important job and forever will be.

maybe for some low level social science degree but for degrees in science/math etc....an average person has little chance. but like i said before an average person has a much greater chance of being able to raise a child.

But is that really greater achievement if based on innate intelligence? Of course it's an achievement. It may make the person smarter. But the average person isn't going to land a magazine cover or have elite sports level abilities. Those people have gifts and have to put the effort in. A role that's more common and accessible doesn't make it less of an achievement. I know I worked for my education and career, but I know my friends that are parents work way harder than I did.

You really can't compare the achievement of being a PhD to being a mom.

Can't agree with that, unless of course you are not good at being a mom or dad. The average mom will put more blood, sweat, tears, pain, fear, time, and money into raising a child than someone will getting a PhD.

Agree to disagree. I'm not going to go into why getting a PhD is a greater achievement because I know I'll step on some feelings, especially in a mom abundant thread.

wow. SMH :laugh:

I personally don't see what the big deal is, if someone wants mama or mom or wife or hubby in their name, let it be, it ain't hurting you so why get butt hurt over it?
