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.

Part of the very reason I'm a SAH.

If you mean you yourself pay for her with your salary. Then that is fine with you. The money dh brings in is ours. I can pay someone to clean the house or buy clothes for myself, or if he could get me to travel without him (I just don't like the idea of it) I could go to Europe by myself. I don't feel the need to earn the money myself to have these things.
