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?

What if a SAH parent has real estate income in their name only, i.e. earning power? Is that person more equal to the spouse then?

A SAHM can't keep a Saturday haircut appt. if her working spouse has to work (unless she gets someone to watch the kids). The non-income generating activities and plans have to come second. How is that equal?

I think it is really sad to even think of equality in a marriage. My marriage is a partnership and we have never been unequal. We work as a team (I sound like SAhousemommy). I don't sit around worrying I am unequal to my husband.

However, in general it has been proven that the more educated a person is the higher their earning potential is. peteynjoeysmom is not wrong in making that blanket statement
My marriage is a partnership, but in different ways. And yeah, equality is an issue to both of us, and it's not sad. Otherwise, frankly, he would take advantage of my work ethic and anal retentiveness!
