[quote=Anonymous]I have SAHM friends with middle school and H.S. girls and I thought this would be a question coming from that angle.  When the girls get older, you may well get some disdain from them.  It's not uncommon for them to give you a snotty "what do you do all day"  attitude.  I say this only because things change as the girls grow, they'll almost certianly develop their own aspirations no matter what your choices are.  If you're cringing now, you might really be cringing then.

However, I think it's good to explain to them that marriage is a partnership and why you staying home works for your partnership.  Also explain that other couples divide responsibilities differently.  My kids know this because they have friends who mom's don't work at all, work full time, and work part-time, and one with a SAHD.  While you are an important model, you're not the only one.  Just be sure you're non-judgmental about what works for other families and they'll the message that there are many options.
