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.

I agree!
Yep, even that takes work.
I also work in the real world where I see just how much time and effort managing staff takes.
Edited to add: I also confused PJ so I should have introduced it better. Also, I have several SAHM friends that contribute to society. In fact, they are contributing more than I am right now even though I work. I had to curtail my volunteering due to my family situation.

&nbs
Should I be spending more time "managing" my small "staff?"
Preschools require children to be toilet trained; to be able to follow instructions and a schedule; to refrain from hitting, kicking or biting other children - need I go on? These are the differences between the family care we used to use and our son's current preschool.

And I work in the "real world" too. Not sure what your point is with that comment.
That is only natural IMHO
Again sorry for the muddy gab, bad sinus headache today.
