SAH/WOH--extramarital affairs
| Tue, 02-15-2005 - 12:54pm |
I was just at the gym this morning and overheard a conversation between two women on treadmills who were discussing/debating as to whether married sahms were any more or less likely to have affairs than married wohms.
I thought it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this.

I didn't say he gave birth. I'm talking about the words, "We just had a baby."
"Had" here connotes that a baby has come into our lives. It doesn't necessarily specify how it arrived. Notice I didn't write, "We just gave birth via a C-section," or "We were induced and delivered a baby vaginally and then we got a level four episiotomy."
She didn't earn the social security - her husband did.
I'm not sure where the disability fits in. Perhaps she has earned that through her contributions made to an employee sponsored group plan, or a private plan, during previous employment. However if she is now enjoying benefits her husband earned in that way - then he earned it, not her. Whatever she did or didn't do, she'd be entitled to the same benefits.
Disability plans of any kind are not in place to "foment" family bonds and allow people to stick by each other in difficult times. They are there to "foment" family staying live and allowing people to keep food on their own tables.
It is legally correct that my DH can endorse a check, made out only to me, and deposit it in our joint checking account???
I guess the bottom line is that earning income is to me a personal achievement, not a cooperative effort.

Writing "For deposit only" and the account number is considered endorsement. That's how xh and I always did it if we had a check in the other person's name and needed to deposit it.
Most banks, from my experience, do have a waiting period of some sort, but if you
Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.
Here's what mine did: He made sure I ate my veges every night. He cooked for me every night he was home. When I had to go in for tests because I was borderline toxima, he was right there with me. He took out the trash. He forbid me to do any deep cleaning and removed all toxic chemicals from the home so that I wouldn't accidently get any on my skin and thus absorb them. He forbade the use of disposible diapers, researched diaper companies and ordered and paid for the diaper service. He followed the video and learned how to change a diaper. He went shopping with me and helped purchase baby items. He put up with my pregnancy hormones. He helped me "count kicks" at night. And, he dealth with his issues of his own brutal father and worked to become the wonderful father that he is today.
As you can see, he did considerably more than donate some sperm. Surely your husband did just as much?
