Is the SAHM the new status symbol?
| Tue, 09-23-2003 - 10:36pm |
In the 70's and 80's women fought to get into the workforce (the whole Ms. magazine generation)...and then the tide turned in the late 1990's when more women started to stay home by choice. Now, it seems like being a SAHM is a status symbol....and superior to being a working mom.

We are lovers, partners, companions. I am his half, he is mine.
He brings me flowers & serves me breakfast in bed all the time & never once has felt that way either.
I'm glad my personality is a 180 from yours.

So it isn't how you want to live? You'd do things differently? Your a different personality? Ok. But there are many of us that would never desire to live as *you* have chosen in any way. But we don't lack respect for you to have the right to live as you desire.
I could care less how people conduct their private lives (as long as they are obeying the laws of the land). They can volunteer 80 hours a week for every organization under the sun or they can pop an umbrella into a drink, pull up the chaise, put on the sunglasses and sit by the pool all day, every day of the year. Why would *I* care or give it a second thought?
I think you put the words together perfectly. ITA.

I don't have a "staff." We do have a maid service come in every other week. If I want to change days, I just make a phone call. I leave a check on the table for them when they come.
I just don't see how having a staff takes so much time and effort. Isn't the point of having a staff to make things *easier*?
