[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the sahm’s I know are clear about what we’ve given up: career (to varying degrees), income, societal respect (depending on your circle), marital power (depending on wealth)… What bothers me about many wohm I know is that they insist they’ve given up nothing. They “have it all”—as if the hundreds of hours of one-on-one parenting, freedom and slower pace have no value to kids, moms or families. It’s like, yes, they’ve *acquired* it all, but there is so much they missed out on. And that’s okay because we’re all making trade-offs. [/quote] In my circle of WOHM none of us claim to have it all. We're all exhausted. The only moms I envy are the SAHM, who have giant trust funds as they do have it all: true financial security independent of their marriage, maximum time with their kids, and maximum time for themselves when the kids are in school.
