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?

It is very common in Corporate America to try and get rid of the older people who make more money first. That is why it is not good to SAH forever and you havent I noticed.

Again, try reading the thread a bit before jumping in. You kind of missed the point of the entire conversation.....

The family down the street has DWOHPs. Great family, very involved with their children ect. Their lifestyle warrents two incomes because they have always had two incomes. Everything was going fine until the older boy turned 14. Now the older boy is a high school freshman and left to his own devices after school. All hell is breaking loose. As an outsider looking in I would say it is largely inpart to this child having no afterschool supervision for three hours. If one of the parents could work partime or quit entirely then possibly with more supervision things might be controlled. Obviously there are many variables and unknowns. What is known is that they are stuck, one of these parents cannot quit or go PT because they cannot afford to.
You said in of your earlier posts that you felt it wasnt coincidental that kids who do drugs do them during 3-6
You wouldnt be so confused if you read the thread hon, I keep telling ya.

My brother was a big drug dealer, we had kids coming to the house afterschool to buy all afternoon. NO WAY could he have gotten away with that if my mom had been home. Not a chance.
