Wasn't that for the CHOICE to be whatever a woman wanted to be? Not just be a WOH or WAH or SAHM? I thought that movement was to give women choices not say that only being dominant or working the right choice...what do you think it was for?
Well, for one, when you're sitting for another child, you're no longer a SAHM but a WAHM.
But we've been down this (dead-end) road before ...

Perhaps you misread my vote then?

I can't think of any- or I'm not understanding the question... So long as my family is happy and taken care of and appreciates what I do for them, I can't think of anything that would make me feel subserviant. Now if they took what I do for granted or expected me to do too much or what I wasn't willing to do, then OK, sure. But that's not the case, so... For instance- DH forgetting to pick up his dirty socks? Doesn't bother me because I know he honestly forgets (and if I ask him to, he *will* collect and take down the laundry etc. so it's not like he's refusing to help if I need/ask.) But if he deliberately threw his dirty socks onto the floor and said "Not my job" or "You pick them up" or whatever- THAT would make me feel subserviant. But as it is, he says "Gee thanks for taking care of the laundry" or something so why should I feel subserviant when he's clearly appreciative?

Dinner I am okay with most of the time....but the other two, that would be a major problem.
