Ann Romey as spoksperson for women

Notice that the Democrat that called Ann Romey on her being a spokeswoman for women everywhere got slammed by everyone including Obama.  She only stated the truth.  Ann Romey has no clue what women in the 99% endure whether they are stay-at-home moms or working mothers.  She has had maids.  She has never had to worry.  She can't identify with the rest of us who have had to choose between rent and food.  Or how do I pay the doctor's bill for my child.  I have no money and he has a high fever and needs antibiotics.  Even if I manage to pay the doctor, how will I pay for the meds he needs?  Or, my employer is threatening to fire me because I have been out too much with my sick child.  Or I have no babysitter and have to find a way to go to work. 

Here is one for Ann.  I have waited on the bus to return my child from a track meet.  I have picked up that child and taken her home at 1am, then gone to work to be there at 2 am for a 10 hour day.  I have called in sick to attend my child's track meet or soccer game because my boss would not let me off to attend.  I have begged, traded days off, done whatever to attend swim meets on Saturdays.  I have signed out sick, come home and spent the remainder of the night rocking a sick baby, waiting for morning to take him to the doctor.  Why did I make the decision to work?  The decision was made for me because we had to have the money to survive and had to have the insurance I provided to care for our children.  You see, my husband was a school teacher in Texas.  Their salaries was and still are below poverty level.  Medical insurance was not offered to teachers at that time.  Teachers were required to work football games, basketball games, all school functions without pay.  They were also required to do lesson plans and grade papers on their own time.  I worked nights and took care of my children during the day while my husband worked.  So, no, Ann Romeny cannot be my advocate.  She has no clue who I am.
