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 was so nice to come back from the mall -- haircuts for the kids, chanukah present for dh, lunch with kids -- and see such a solid show of support. You ladies mean the world to me.
I just truly shudder deep down when i see such ignorance by anyone -- even a troll.
Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

And conversely, some moms lack the ability to benefit their families by staying home.
That's not insecurity as much as it is understanding the nature of debate.
Frankly, your proof makes your own argument look pretty bad.
You don't see any sahm's searching high and low to prove that not using DC isn't harming their kids, do you?
I wasn't addressing you anyway, you don't seem to be as defensive as CLW. Well, at least you didn't seem to be.
If a person is comfortable with their choices, they generally don't get all excited and defensive. I think a certain someone isn't so sure. I know I am. I certainly wouldn't waste a keystroke searching for any kind of research to prove that my kids will be OK despite my staying home with them when they weren't in school.
She knows not what she (he?) is saying, I don't think she's "right", KWIM?
