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?

My child can run and play with the kids in our very nice neighborhood largely BECAUSE I SAH. (After work hours, kids aren't out b/c we're far enough north so that it's dark here much of the year, and weekends are family time for us.)

1) Not having to worry about the kind of care our kids are receiving. You admitted that as a positive, but then added that we're "...kidding yourself if you think moms never have bad day or need a break from their kids."
And YOU'RE kidding yourself if you think SAHMs never get a break from their kids. WOHMs have bad days and need breaks from their kids as well.

How would WOH benefit MY kids when we already LIVE in a great neighborhood with great schools where they can run and play and get plenty of exercise outside?
At any rate, that's your response? That's it, a lame misinterpretation of my words?
Surely you can do better than that.

Not all husbands want to work only 35 hours a week or stagnate, maybe some actually thrive on success.
