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?

But he's not a teen. . .he's 21. . .and MORE than old enough to understand the law. . .as are Jenna and Barbara Bush. . .
It wasn't a 'rite of passage' in my circle of friends to get a fake id. . heck, my dh who was in the Army Reserves when he was 18, 19, 20 didn't have a fake id. . .just because 'everybody's doing it' doesn't make it legal.
If not us, then who?

I just don't take 'going to war' lightly. . .I'm sure you understand.
Seeing how things tend to work out, and accepting that yep, you too, as a member of the human race and not some special sub species has nothing to do with heart, soul and spirit. It just helps ensure that the children are being raised by parents with a little more going for them than good intentions.
hmm, you might want to check with finance because my DH still got the combat pay through the end of August (when he came back). There was no change in his pay between May and August and I asked around and no one else received a change in pay.

Nah, it's simply the argument of someone who doesn't understand that nothing happens in a vaccuum.
You can't have it both ways. CLW claims her WOH status matters BECAUSE it raises her family's SES. Therefore, one's SAH status must also matter, because it does not raise SES. It's quite simple, really. Cause and effect.
