SAH doesn't support change,

"SAH doesn't support change, it supports going backwards to the 1950's,"
Statement in a post below.
I wholeheartedly disagree. To me, SAH is a choice. How is that going back to the 1950s, when a lot of women didn't have much of a choice.

"Would you have to explain why they weren't getting a cake? Or would they just not notice that there was no cake?"
None of us would probably notice because we'd most likely be having too much fun.
"I am sure that my kids wouldn't fall to pieces if some Thursday they didn't have to take the trash to the curb."
Sure, not about trash. But, you said you would never break tradition and not bake cookies for those special holidays. What reaction are you fearing?

I said they mastered the concepts quicker than most of the other kids. Your kids never master a concept?
I also thought you sad that the "rewards" at your kids' schools were things like getting to color in parts of a sheet of paper to keep track of how much they'd mastered. Now one of them is going to a swim party for accomplishments in reading.
I said the awards they get grow as the work they have to accomplish grows. In kindergarten, they get the certificate that they make on their own (that would be DD), in first grade, they get to bring home a book (that is DS) in third grade they get to go to a swimming party if the achieve a level in reading before the deadline (that is DS#2). I highly doubt my oldest kids would work hard for a colored piece of paper.
