[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM and my kids are in school and college. I have time, energy and resources on my hand and I have outsourced some of the household work.  I am lucky I married a good man who is a high earner and can support a family financially.  I worked before I stayed at home and have multiple degrees in my chosen field. I have used my education to help supplement my kid's public school education and they are in top magnet programs and colleges.  We are financially very secure because we have always lived below our means.

I do not have to earn anything for my own existence, however, there were things I wanted in my marriage, for my kids, for our lifestyle and for our financial future, and we have achieved those.  In the end, the kind of house and home I have is a result of our (DH and I) combined vision and effort.

I find it pathetic when women claim that earning a pay gives them equality.  Does that mean that if they choose to stay home their husbands will not consider them equal or respect them?  In that case, what kind of losers have they married? [/quote]

I totally agree with everything youve said.

Also, most of the women who seem to be opposed to SAHMs dont seem to be doing it out of genuine concern for "inequality"- such as, the genuine risk that happens for a SAHM if a divorce happens, in terms of reentering the workplace.  No, they seem to be more having a tantrum over "it's not fair!" and if you prod them over it they will say disgusting things like, "just because you have a vagina doesnt mean you dont have to work!"

It makes me wonder if these people are just misogynistic angry men trolling and pretending to be SAHMs... but it blows my mind how much women can hate other women, especially when they feel that another woman has gotten a "larger slice of pie" than them.

I think it's mainly rooted in jealousy.

And I remember one SAHM hater, when prodded, admitted she had a very poor relationship with her own mother.  I think the hatred of SAHMs comes from people who have issues with the female gender as a whole, and hate SAHMing because they see it as the epitome of feminine behavior.  JMO.[/quote]
