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?

>>Why some SAHM's have to think what they're doing is somehow going to benefit their kids is beyond me. The research doesn't support that. <<
The research WRT SES doesn't support that. The research WRT being involved with the children does.
You can say that WOH doesn't mean the parents are less involved. You're right, it doesn't necessarily mean that. I can say that SAH doesn't mean the SES is lower. Which is also true. The truth is, parents with a SAHP are more likely to be involved in their childrens lives. No use getting offended at that, because I'm not supposed to be offended when you say children of WOH parents are more likely to succeed in life.

Higher SES means more money...more money means more things (things could be ANYTHING that takes money to acheive).
Higher SES does not mean happy parents, it does not mean a loving home, it does not mean that the parents even actually CARE about their kids. All it means is that they have a higher SES, which gives them more money.
(BTW--just for the record, I don't believe in anything is "better" for everyone...I go on personal choice and what's best for the entire family...if that means a lower SES and the parents actually love and care for the kiddo's...then great. If it means higher SES and the parents actually love and care for the kiddo's...then great.)
