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.

Rebellion? No need for that. My inlaws support my dh and wanted him to follow whatever career path he chose. So he did.
I'm sorry if you think hotel mgt is only for a certain financial bracket. Do you have brackets for all careers or just the ones you want to be snobby about?
Like I said, I just lurk here, I don't jump into the debate. I don't post on any debate boards. I prefer the support or specific related topic boards. That is where I became friends with Maxchandler.
Wow. Tonight's board is hopping. I've just been reading it all over. Interesting to say the least.
Are you in the business? Cuz you really have no idea what your talking about when it comes to the salary of hotle/rest buisness.
Most valet make over 70,000 a year wine stewards are making at least $150,000 s consierre can make up to 200,000 a year if he/she is good at it.

Do tell what your issue with hotel management is? Is there a guideline that only people from x amount of income families can pursue this job?
My gosh. My inlaws are rich (not wealthy) and they are all super market owners. Maybe that is why they gave dh one for a wedding present, they didn't have a problem with their son being the owner of a full service market.
Horrors. The board has people with family wealthy who don't look down on their son becoming hotel managers marrying someone he met through his career and people who take 2-3 showers daily, have a staff, get breakfast in bed, and change sheets daily. No. No one lives like that. They must be living in a hotel.
Geesh. Where do you live that you don't have people who live like this and NOT in a hotel either?
We've got down here in 'Bama country! One of my best friends. Geesh! I'm always telling her, she has got it good. She is sweet & modest, the best person. I'll have to ask her if the maid changes her sheets every day or bi-weekly.
Btw, if you think only people in hotels get clean linens every day, your wrong. My mother lives alone in a 2bd bungalow across the street and has changed her sheets every day. She also would never re-use a towel that night that she dried on that morning. Yes, gasp, she takes 2 showers a day (dh and I were telling her about this line of discussion we were reading here, good chuckle to start her night with). And you don't have to live in a big house to have someone clean your house. I've got it. Only twice a wk (working my way up to daily)
