ITA 100%. Just like grimal says SAHMs do nothing that impact her, I don't see how WOHMs impact SAHMs in any way.

I want to know exactly how your children are better off than children of SAHMs because you WOH? Keep in mind that all the SAHMs that I know are able to provide everything that you have already said WOH provides for your family so you have to come up with something new.

You want me to use you as an example for my dds? No thanks. I will find someone who is happy enough that they don't have to put down a whole group of women to make them feel better about their choice. Not to mention blaming a whole group of people for what they feel is wrong with everything in the working world.

I have told you several times already that I never said that SAHMs contribute MORE than WOHMs, just that they contribute equally. Sure they are in different ways, but they are equal. All this "taxes" "contributing to the GNP" doesn't make you this wonder woman - you make your contributions your way, SAHMs make their contributions thier way. Just because you can't put a monetary value on it, doesn't make it less valuable. There are many things that you can't put a dollar value on - not everything goes away because you write a check.

Just like being a WOHM doesn't make a difference in the end.

You're right - she doesn't get it. I get it and I am a WOHM. Not that hard to grasp.

Again, I say, I never mentioned that SAHMs make MORE contributions to society, just that they make EQUAL contributions to society. The same question can be asked - What contribution is a WOHM make that is unique to her WOHM-dom that benefits society? And I don't want to hear the taxes thing, every family pays taxes whether SAHM or WOHM.

All mWOHMs, as yourself, are an example of is what I do not want my dds to turn out to be like. I don't want them to think that they have to earn that almighty dollar to have worth. I will show my dds that they are worth much more than any job could ever pay them.
