should do it all? I hear this and think why should a woman at home do every thing? Shouldn't it be whatever works? Shouldn't it be whatever floats the boat of the married couple? Confused on this thinking.

If you are home do you do it all? How does your DH or SO feel?

WOH do you do it all or do you split it? Do you do more or less since you WOH?

I know I've enjoyed talking to you as well - I told DH last night that I want to go to Kentucky! BTW - I sent you an email but forgot to sign my name! Did you ever get it?

Our husband's are receiving valuable entertainment out of all this too, huh? Oh if you come to Lexington, Kentucky you'd love it, great place to visit (ok, it is home, I've been here 14 yrs so naturally I'm going to say that, right?). If you would like to enjoy some horse racing and a true "taste of the bluegrass" April or October meets are the best time. Btw, where are you (if you don't mind my asking).

Email? Oh my, I never check that thing, but now that you've said you sent one, you better believe I will and I'll respond.

Someone responded that they worked 11 years f/t befor they had kids. I said I thought most of us here worked f/t before kids as I haven't run into any heiresses here yet. I pretty much think it's very rare for a woman in this day and age to be a housewife before kids when they are young and competent enough to go out and get a job. I don't know of one woman who didn't work before kids. Even the ones with husbands making a million dollars a year.

Ahhh, the lovely Garden State. Southern Jersey. Home of toxic waste dumps, exits on the parkway, and high insurance rates. But it's home.

I'm hardly incapable, nor am I monosyllabic, I just wouldn't give your posts the effort of responding. Now do you get it?

Don't try again, it's a waste of bandwidth.

I love the way laundry smells when line dried, but where do you all live? It's against soning regulations to hang laundry out, in the entire county!

I don't understand your post. Are you saying that you think it is against zoning regulations in the entire country of the USA to hang laundry out on a line?

Nope, again you missed the whole point of the debate. I didnt see much in the way of *how hard it is to sah*. The debate was about whether or not the sahp was UNEQUAL to the working parent. Cyndi states that the sahp is NOT equal to the working parent, because no matter WHAT they do at home, no matter WHAT kind of job the wohp has, they are still ultimately doing less- and infering that they are somehow less overall as well.
