How does this relate to the debate?

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

ROFLOL! Taylormomma a troll???? Could you be any funnier! She's been here for at least the 4+ YEARS that i have been posting. I ASSURE you she is no troll. But she can sure call 'em like she sees 'em (and she's generally right on the money, too!).

<> AWESOME. SO am I. So, maybe since we're both sailing we should just enjoy the ride that each of us is on?

I'm surprised that you couldn't recognize this as a direct, personal attack. And, as such, it adds absolutely nothing to the debate.

BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! I can't "contain myself". The idea that you could even think that she "looks like" a troll is just too funny for words.....But thanks for the best laugh of the day.

Good night. It's work for me tomorrow.
