Why does some people think women at home
| Sat, 06-07-2003 - 1:02am |
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?

Would a nanny scrub my toilets, wash my car, change the sheets, wash my clothes, pick up the dog poop? There's more to SAH than just playing with the kids.....
I just disagree with your logic. There are plenty of days in which I put MORE effort than DH. As I've said over and over here, it depends on how many kids you have, their ages, DH's job, your personalities, etc.
It isn't the same logic we live by here in Texas.
They will never see how some have Dh who think and act differently from how they think and act.
I've enjoyed the riveting debate my ? brought up and the far out there beliefs that have arose to the top.
I think that having children a bit later really afforded me the freedom to do these things, because I was pretty well-established financially before I even got married. Rather than feeling stagnant and trapped in the corporate rut, I feel like dh and I are really open to lots of different things and options.

I don't either, but maybe I'm just crazy because I don't think they NEED to be.

Count me OUT of the "most" you speak of. I have loved each of my jobs. I love working. I love dealing with customers and I don't particularly find bosses difficult to put up with.

Again, an opinion that's based solely on your experience and the experience of the limited number of people you've come in contact with. I don't know ANY SAHM who was attracted to SAH because they thought it would be easy. My best friends would actually PREFER to be working, but don't want their kids in outside care. Even *I* would love to work full time, both because I love working and I'd love to have the money. I chose to work only part time in order to spend more time with my kids and to avoid daycare.

I'm sure you see no need to answer my questions. Don't bother, no answer is all the answer I need.
