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?

"Higher SES, IN GENERAL is correlated with better outcomes for kids."
See then, you knock out all those kids who have experianced higher SES and saw no benefit from it whatsoever. I know TOO many "kids" (who are know adults) that never benefited from their parents higher SES. Unless you want to count the ability to buy the good drugs, as well as make college a career, because their parents had the money for it.
And like I said...."well know and widely accepted" doesn't do much for me when the basis of the well known and widely accepted are only numbers on a spread sheet. See, the thing that sucks about following statistics and turning them into Gods is that it doesn't actually look at the person. They might have went to college on their parents dime because of that higher SES...but that doesn't mean they made anything with themselves, because they are currently working in Daddy's lawfirm pushing papers, living the easy life.
Yup, statistics and widely accepted is based on numbers..not the person that created that number. And I stand by what I said...higher SES does not guarentee anything for the child other then some greenbacks. The guarentees fall soley on the parent and their level of involvement.
There is a separate situation under which SAH is chosen just because someone likes it. In this case, it's not something better just what mom prefers. It's neutral. Just as WOH would be if you take away the improvements in SES.
mine are all quite young yet. :-)
