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.

Just my opinion.
Let me give you a example... Our hired hand for the stables has been married 4times now divorced and is 46 years old, he is now dating a 22 year old single mother and they are living together...I do not agree with his lifestye choices but I have the upmost respect for this man he has a heart of gold and will do anything for anyone he is a hard worker and goes out of his way to give extra. He is worhty of my respect even if i dread some of the personal experince he has had, it does not effect me it is none of my business.
The flowers thing is nice though.

Our marriage is a partnership and nothing i do for my husband or my children would ever make me feel subservent and the same goes for him.
i will have to admit he is the chef for the most part in our house. LOL`

I know you work as an attorney but what exactly do you contribute to the world by working? For all we know you are an attorney for a large tobacco firm or an organized crime gang. Just because you are employed doesn't mean everyone will agree that you are "contributing."
I'm also doing pro bono work for two start up companies that may very well never pay me. But that's really for fun, even though it's legal work :)
