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?

Of course I am definitely not saying that WOHM's only do it so they can drive new cars, etc. I am merely saying that everyone's idea of 'positive' results is different.

Sometimes you are compelled to choose the future over now. I'm back in school myself working on a masters in arts in teaching. Not because I'm terribly unhappy where I am but because it's no longer sensible to plan on one career for 30 years in my field. You stand a good chance of being downsized out in your 50's. Since my kids will be just starting high school when I'm 50, I figured I best get to work on career number two. Fortunately, I don't have to do this forever. I plan on partying that entire first summer I'm off too, lol. Not that that's why I'm doing this but that will be nice and it will kind of be like getting back some of the time I'm giving up now. I keep telling myself that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
