Hey I rhymed! lol

Something occurred to me earlier and I wanted to see how others thought it might relate to the whole "which is harder SAH/WOH" portion of the debate that crops up so often.

I think that, when you look at either group *as a whole*, the WOHs might have it harder. And this is why ...

There are virtually no SAHMs who SAH because they "have to". There are virtually no SAHMs who are forced to SAH. A woman that SAH wants to SAH.(I'm sure there's a few exceptions out there; controlling dhs who MAKE their wives SAH, disabled children, etc) A woman that SAH doesn't hate her "job", or else she'd go get a WOH job. A woman that SAH is generally getting what she wants.

There are LOTS AND LOTS of WOHMs who WOH because they "have to". A single mom, or one whose dh doesn't make enough to support the family, or one with a disabled dh, whatever the case may be ... she may long, with all her heart, to SAH, but *can't*. Many WOHMs hate their jobs, but can't quit.

Anyhoo ... just wanted to stir up something new

you really think i have back myself into a corner think agian my friend. That would never happen. I have no problem admitting when I have made a mistake and I will stand corrected.

What is funny is the i can handle this alone not with a "group" ya know they say most trouble makers hang in groups.

I think pnj meant hick town as in attitude vs. actual size and rural character. I live in a small town (population 10K), but it is very diverse and sophisticated. We have many artists, writers, actors as well as master of the universe types here. We're only a train ride away from downtown manhattan, even though the town feels very rural. I would never feel that pnj was referring to a town like mine when saying hick town, it's anything but.
