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?

If that were the case, why aren't all the sahms pulling out all the research touting how kids of sahm's are just as advantaged as those of wohm's?
Think about it, the answer will come to you.
Pretending that it isn't true won't make it untrue; it only destroys your credibility on this point.
Think what you like, I know why some people feel the need to back up their opinions with any available ammunition they can scrounge for. Because they have to.
Oh, and I'd like to see those referenced studies by the SAHM's in this debate. I must have missed them.
That's true, I have only seen one person post research in defense of SAHPs. Personally, I don't need to read a bunch of studies to decide what is best for my kids. Survey studies aren't that accurate because they can't isolate all the facotrs just give a generalization. So, no study can tell me what is best for MY children. Only a parent can say what is going to work for their child. And I know that for my 2 boys me SAH is what they need right now.

There isn't alot out there that supports sahms these days. I can only speculate on why.

The above statement is an EXTREMELY misleading representation of what I ACTUALLY said, which was that your insistence that NO SAHMs presented evidence from studies to support their debates here (a provably untrue statement, as sweetswah has already shown) destroyed your credibility ON THAT POINT. I made absolutely no claim whatsoever as to your credibility in any other thread, point, aspect, manner, etc. Simply on THIS point.
And when my claim that you are wrong is proven, as sweetswah has done, it no longer becomes opinion, but fact. You are wrong. And your insistence that you are not wrong, destroys your credibility ON THIS POINT. Again...fact. Because it's not my opinion that you have no credibility with me ON THIS POINT; it's a fact you have no credibility with me ON THIS POINT, and it was your insistence that an untruth was fact that destroyed it.
