Do you think a SAHM should go back to...
| Fri, 09-05-2003 - 11:46am |
Do you think a SAHM should go back to work once the kids start school?
- Absolutely, why shouldn't she? There's no reason why she shouldn't.
- It's up to her & her family.
- No, not really. What do the kids being in school have to do w/ her working?

I don't believe when I said my vows it meant that "here is YOUR money" and "here is MY Money"...
That's what I had a problem with.. And alot of other posters had as well. The picture she paints to us is very one sided. and very selfish. In most of our eyes, we are suppose to take care of our "husband".. Whether that means financially, Emotionally, or physically. She DID say that she came home and announced.. (not asked, not discussed) ANNOUNCED to her husband she was switching careers.. COMPLETELY disreguarding her Life MATE. Now, That in and of itself is just NOT done in most marriages (general term) However, I FIRMLY believe when you say "I DO". It means EVERYTHING!!!!!
So WHAT if he pissed away the "retirement".. Does that mean I SHOULD take a lower paying job just because it Pleases me? The logic of her whole post was questioned. IF she didn't want it debated on this board, it was her choice NOT to post it as an example to back up her POV.
I find no problem using FACTS she posted. *shrug* if she didn't want it questioned, she shouldn't have hit the "post".
We will move our dinner time when the kids get old enough to be in activities. We will pursue the 3-6pm time range of activities because we want to be at home for dinner and the evening.
You think it isn't doable? Try again. I know families that are doing this now thanks to the fact there are activities available earlier.

There are things that are important & that we know we will not change. Sure. I'm willing to move dinner time by same an hour to hour & 1/2. But that is it. Our parent's didn't change dinner times & Dh and I both were very active youth & teens.

"but I'm sorry, I just don't see any reason to pat you on the back for that"
If you were using the general you then I misread you. Otherwise you directed it to me.
I think choices should be respected. I respect women's choice to woh and the choice to sah. I think it is important to respect a woman's choices.
Apparently you don't want your WOH choice to be respected. Ok, fine.
