*Could Mitt Romney’s wife be a basketball wife?
Dr. Boyce Watkins sure thinks so in this Op-Ed on NewsOne.com where he talks about Ann Romney’s emergence in the news as of late in the “Work at Home Mom” and “Stay at home mom” discussion.
Here’s an excerpt from Dr. Boyce’s Op-Ed:
Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has made quite a bit of money throughout his career, but I wonder if he is missing a significant income-generating opportunity for his family. Mitt’s wife, Ann, a stay-at-home mom who benefits tremendously from her husband’s success, would probably be a great candidate for the VH-1 TV show, “Basketball Wives.”
By definition, a Basketball Wife is “a woman with very few (publicly) identifiable skills who lives a pompously extravagant lifestyle based almost solely on the hard work of someone else. Although she is convinced that she is better than other people, the Basketball Wife is meaningful to society primarily because of who she married, dated, slept with or chose as a sperm donor. Sometimes they also like to fight.”

Basketball wife??? LOL!!!! I ahve heard raising children is a tough job and it probably is but Ann Romney still had a it good beacise of her husband’s wealth she could easily stay at home with all of the comfort and luxury she and her 5 sons had plenty fo food, heat , lights and the children went to the best schools and you know she had a housekeeper and probably a couple of nannies to help out
Yes, being a mom is a tough job when you have to raise productive members of society without the help of NANNIES and CHEFS! She cannot compare going to work everyday and dealing with a boss and co-workers with different personalities and not to mention dealing the BS that comes with the job! I take nothing from women who can afford to stay home and raise their kids, but what about the ones that go to work and still come home and raise their kids?? She cannot compare the two! She had it good!
