How does this relate to the debate?

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

I dont agre with your explanation I dont think you have explained it to be correct for me, there is no reson for you to be sorry.
I have spent far more time b/c there are many of you here deating me not the topic. If it was only one person debating me persoannly than it would not have to be so dang time consumming for me. There is nothing silly about that and I dont believe I claimed anyone has spent more time than me, did I?...what I find silly well really shocking and somewhat creepy is how much time i take consuming others thoughts.
Have a great day~
hey we agree on something...LOL~
We, on the other hand, can find plenty showing your attacks, particularly on eileen.

No, I would not.
We will have enough for retirement and DS' college tuition.
Nope, wouldn't change a thing. We're off to the park. It's a glorious morning here in the sticks.

Perhaps you should use the tissue for the "dribble" you claim is all over your screen.
