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.

The kids. Well at 2 and 3, they just need 2 baths a day. Especially days like today when they helped mommy in the yardwork.

We both agree, we do for another purely because we want to and because mainly, we love each other dearly.
He has given me the opportunity to stay home. I give him things like the hot lunch, see to the overall running of the house, & the occasional time when it snows and all the cashiers can't get into work, I go help him out. Or when he needs anything else done at the store, mom keeps the kids, I go. etc. After all, that is our livlihood. It is a win-win situation for us both. He has given me a housekeeper 2x a week.

I think 3x daily is excessive and wasteful (unless you're digging ditches or rolling in fish all day).
