Which came first, the title or the SAHW?
| Fri, 12-19-2003 - 9:04am |
Last night I attended my husband's work Christmas party. I sat with the CEO, CFO, CTO, COO (Chief operations officer, I didn't know that acronym, I had to ask), Creative Director, Marketing Director and their wives. Near the end of the evening it was just we wives chatting mostly about kids. I made the observation that even though all the wives were intelligent, educated and accomplished women, not a single one (except me), woh. They are all SAHM's.
Any thoughts on why that might be? I have my own opinion but I'd like to hear from everyone else first. Do you think they sah because of their husbands jobs or their husbands have their jobs because the wives stay home? Or doesn't it matter?

For example, it's not EASY for a dual WOHP family to take their children to the park/museum/beach every day. (do SAHMs *really* do this daily??? . . . ) But they DO do it, just on a different schedule than SAHMs. And it's not EASY for a dual WOHP family to have gourmet meals nightly (again, do SAHMS really do this?) but they CAN do it if they choose. Just takes a little scheduling.
No, little fairies don't come and do all this stuff for WOHPs. They do it themselves. And many have no problem with fitting it into their schedule.

LOL! No insult to your common sense, but there ARE weekends (as you allege), holidays AND vacations. and yes, during those days, we can spend HOURS there -- why do you think we wouldn't? However, i sah the equivalent of 184+ DAYS per year -- plenty of time to do the beach, museum or park or movie or arcade or bowling, etc.
