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'm not expected to do anything. I just do it out of the goodness of my heart because it makes me happy too.
I also didn't say (and didn't mean to imply either) that you can't have clean laundry and work a paying job. You sure can. But I don't want to work and it is easier for me to run things being home. I'm not afraid to admit I'd be lousy at keeping up with the house running and working. I'd hate it. I like being home, being more free.

And no to your second question. Why should I? A person (a couple if marriage is in the picture) has to decide what is best for them and what they desire. I can't evaluate if it is shallow or not because it is none of my business how others (as long as they are doing it legally) live their lives.
Do you really have a problem with people who live this way?
I cannot imagine caring what others do with their days.
