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?

Oh, yes, quite a few soldiers receive what's called BAH, basic allowance for housing.
No, the military doesn't pay for telephone expenses for it's soldiers, except when they're deployed in very remote locations as a "morale benefit".
About a month ago I came down with that flu that's been sweeping through the country.

One can say that *overall* higher ses is a good thing for kids. But one cannot say that higher ses is *always* a good thing, any more than YOU can say wohm is *always* a good thing or sahp is *always* a good thing.

Suffice it to say that I am positive there are WMD over there. I can tell you they were using chemical weapons (Concentration Camp Style) on their own people.

I think there is a huge difference between staying home just because and gathering aid and staying home for a valid reason and gathering wic. I think that staying home with your three kids because their father is overseas defending OUR country a very good reason. Unless you've been there and done that its hard to realize how hard deployments can be on some kids. Personally, I stopped working (even though I worked at home) when we found out my DH was being deployed. And I am glad I did because during that time my boys needed me to focus on their needs.
And I think WIC is the very least we can do for the spouses that keep the household running while the other parent is fighting for our right to post on message boards.
