[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But seriously, OP, what do you do all day? Do you have some sort of hobby or volunteer gig that takes up your time?[/quote]

I’m a PP and I’ll repeat what I wrote above. Why is that anyone’s business how she chooses to spend her days?[/quote]

Because it contributes to the patriarchal society that we all live in and sets a terrible example for children.  but SAHMs are selfish by nature, so they don’t care. ME ME MEEE![/quote]

Surprised it took that many pages to lay bare what is really behind the animosity towards SAHMs.  Its a betrayal of the so-called sisterhood.  Note these same folks applaud religious women who put on hijabs as an empowered choice.

The real resentment is also because their staying at home allows their husbands careers to take off which is a big advantage over working women with no such luxury.[/quote]

Sad thing is I think you really believe this.[/quote]

My CFO recently said at a Board dinner that “the secret to my success is my stay at home wife.”

He literally doesn’t do anything but work and socialize with work and industry people. Yet maintains a father figure, married with a house and three kids image despite not knowing anything about what’s going on at home.

There is absolutely no way this is true. No one would say the phrase “stay at home wife” at a board meeting. Nice try.

I hope those of you defending this don’t have daughters. And if you do, I hope you realize how hypocritical you are if you push them to succeed.[/quote]

My mom shattered glass ceilings in cut-throat industry, and did it with the support of my dad, who stayed at home (in the 1980s no less).  When women asked her how she did it, she credited having a stay at home spouse.

Some careers require a person to have that extra support.  We don't need to bash the women who provide that support to their husbands; we need to encourage more husbands to provide that support to their wives.

I am a woman and I SAH, but there is no question that if I had been the one (rather than DH) in a career that was demanding and paid generously, he would have been happy to stay home instead.[/quote]
