This is the other part I had a problem with: "Mothers who know build children into future leaders and are the primary examples of what leaders look like."
As with the homemaking part, I felt this wasn't very sensitive to mothers who have children who make bad choices and don't end up as leaders - in other words, it perpetuates the "What did I do wrong?" stress that is in many cases unwarranted and unfair.
These are the only criticisms I've had with the talk that I addressed on Cougarboard, and I was still being reamed for speaking evil of the Lord's anointed.
I still haven't had anyone reasonably oppose my criticism. They just generally criticized me.

I thought it was a dumb, stroke people, folk wisdom kinda talks.
So even a stay at home mom can feel guilty about a dirty house or kids not perfectly clean. It seems that we are competing with the Jews for guilt.
