Subject: happy housewife
No wonder Brian took the day off! I'd say Ms. Flanagan may be channeling her inner housewife, but she sure isn't a happy housewife.

Did she forget to take her meds? I've never heard such anger from a guest! Has her pandering to the right failed to produce the book sales she'd anticipated?

Subject: Hurrah for Caitlin Flanagan
I am an unabashed liberal, and more positively disposed to the Democrats than the Republicans (who I think lack the milk of human kindness).

As a father of a 23 year old daughter Alana and a 33 year old
step-daughter Ann, we made do for a number of years on a single income
so my wife, Mary, could be at home and focus on raising our children.
When they were old enough, she went back to work. The family should never take second place to work. Hurrah for Caitlin Flanagan for reminding us of this.

This woman had to be one of the most arrogant, pushy and annoying
guests I have ever heard on The Brian Lehrer Show and it's unfortunate
that she is a spokesperson for this very important and fascinating
issue. Congratulations to Sri for maintaining his composure!

Subject: Your guest isn't a stay at home mom . . .
she's a WORK at home mom, like I am, which is totally different. Not
everyone has a career that lends itself to staying home with kids and
working at the same time (I am a graphic artist.) She is very lucky
that she could switch careers, but there's no denying that she's a
working mom--writing columns and a book must certainly take some time
from her children. My husband is a work at home dad. There are trade-
offs here as well. Does she agree?

while she had a few good things to say, i'd much rather read caitlin flanagan than listen to her.
she was loud and rude and abrasive.
