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.

My dh said something that was interesting tonight. I had to tell him about this thread. After LOL, he said that he considers being a good person/good parent/good husband or wife all what he expects human beings to do, and that he has respect for those who go beyond the "bare minimum." Also, he said that if he were a SAHM who did nothing but lunch/talk to her friends/shop/hang out ordering the staff around and I (if I were the dh) had no problems with that, then he'd be *insulted* because I expect so little of him that I think that's the "best that he could be."
