TLC - Pissin off the stay at home moms?

Most of our more respectable fantasies have found a place on reality TV. There's the show where designers swoop in to organize your clutter and the one about the nanny who figures out how to keep the kids from using their potties as weapons. There's even a show about wife swapping.

But TLC has found one more untapped fantasy—at least for mothers. We're not talking about "The Manny." No, this is the one where you're a woman who's been home with your kids so long that you can't remember the last time you wore hard-soled shoes. Then someone (say, former sitcom star Tracey Gold) comes by and says, "Hey, you know how you always wanted to be a fashion designer, cop or chef? Well, we'll give you a week to try it out—without your family knowing. Then at the end of the week you get to choose whether to restart your career or stay home. And guess what: your kids and husband will support you either way."

Sounds dreamy, right? Well, not to everyone. If the initial reaction to the "Secret Life of a Soccer Mom," (Mondays at 10 p.m. ET) is any indication, TLC has struck one of the rawest nerves of parenting.

wtf, I expected it to be the families on the shows that get pissed off but it says it's mothers opposed to women choosing work over full-time housewife stuff.  I'm guessing most of the viewers like this show and it's only a few crazy mothers that think like this.

Hehe, we recently got TLC HD, so I happened to watch an episode of it.

TLC pisses me off by being a crappy channel. American Chopper, Miami Ink, What Not to Wear, Secret Life of a Soccer Mom...why it's everything I could want from a station called THE LEARNING CHANNEL.  I was going to say they're as worthless as A&E, but at least A&E has Cold Case Files.

Remember that show garbage wars? That was cool.
