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.

Oh, it doesn't? *checks her savings account balance* Wow. I had to enter a password to access that information. How did you find out what was in my savings account without me telling you...?
I have savings, and if I didn't have enough money working 4 days a week to continue saving money, guess what? I could just work MORE than 4 days a week, like most working people do. ;)
I'm not confusing the 2. I know that people can go to college at any time in their lives. But I'm just saying something could happen and you might not be able to afford the tuition or the spare time to go, and it *could* be risky just putting it off.
From these threads, women have said they have gone back to college, or their moms had gone back, after children to change or improve their careers. But I really have to disagree with just putting college off. Its a decision that person could come to regret later.
There are student loans, federal grants, scholarships, and whatnot available, and as long as I encourage my daughters to do well (as I did), that will be available to them.
My mother has never regretted not going to college, and I don't think I will either--especially as I'm laying there on my death bed, remembering my life.
And as I've said before, my doors will always be open to my children, whatever mistakes they make, and rather than say "I told you so," I will just be there for them.
At this point, I must interject.

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
What difference does it make if their is one universal kind of sahm or wohm?
Sahds would benefit working women in the same way sahms benefit working men. An example; if more men stayed at home to support their wives in the workforce, women would have more freedom to devote their attention to their careers.
