LOL, I'm not degrading anyone. I'm simply trying to figure out what this supposed SAH contribution is. Why is that I don't see SAH a something special degrading?

You can. Showing kids they can do non stereotypical things is good.

Dear, try again. You're trying to make a specific situation general. This isn't about my personal life and how you want to twist it.

Oh, what's wrong with it?

Sorry, stbxdh doesn't write poetry and I won't be lowering our SES.

No, I simply point out that SAH is not a special brand of motherhood.

LOL, READ my posts. Lots of people are role models for our children but what WE model as their parents is the strongest of the role models.

It's not an issue of people paying more than me but whetehr or not *I* choose to pay less. I am not choosing to pay less. *I* am paying more than *I* would if I opted out of the work force. On average, WM's do pay more in taxes than SAHM's. That some don't doesn't change the norm.

For one, I work to support the government. I serve as one of many role models that our dd's can be/do whatever they want to be/do. My job happens to be testing the safety of products used in the market. That touches many.

Nope but our kids learn what WE actually DO best. We are our children's foremost role models.
