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?

Well, *I* think that if the extra income isn't needed, the stress that might be avoided by not working is certainly a positive for some SAHMs.
<> No ability lacking, sometimes their income is just not necessary or wouldn't be worth the amount of take-home pay they'd get after putting their kids in daycare all day or hiring a nanny.
You SAH when they were young and then went back to work full time. What would happen to them? (Careful with this one, because I think it's your actual situation, right?)
You were a career SAHM -- from birth to 18. What would happen to them? Mind you, we're not talking about YOU.
My medical degree. I studied nursing and shifted into law. How do I know about orthopedics well from the time I was 15years old I have dealt with ankle and foot problems and I only have went to orthopedic surgeons and as I grew older my interest was in medical law :) But far be it from me and the copy of the heel spur and little metatarsal ligment to comment.
Maybe you should ask your PODIATRIST which doesn't study as long as maybe one of those doctor's fellows if he knows about that.
I have two older parents and I wouldn't dream of every turning them out and they are definitely not a burden and I also with my siblings took care of our biological parents as well and not a burden. They took care of us and we love them and when you love someone it doesn't matter you love them and will take care of them.
So Ms. Cyndu doesn't have that being so hard nosed.
