Do we really need to turn this thread into another WOHM vs SAHM thread? OP asked how much YOU make (not DH). Wonderful that you have a system that works for you,  but just completely irrelevant to this thread. This is not intended as a slight against you or SAHMs, [b]so please don't feel like you need to be defensive[/b] - what you do is great but it doesn't belong in a thread about salaries.[/quote]

PP SAHM mom here.  You' e got to be kidding me.  Read my original post, and then look at some of the obnoxious responses.  So, if I were my husband and posted by income, that would be fine and relevant.  But, because I'm the one who logged in the information is irrelevant.  Crazy.  Again, I'm assuming op and others are looking at least in part for ways to increase their family's incomes (otherwise why ask only about compensation rather than other aspects of jobs.  One way to do it for some is to focus on one person's career.  Why the heck should I not post that?  If it's not applicable to your profession, or if it pains someone to consider this possibility, ignore the post for God's sake.  This is not about SAHM v. WOHM (I've been both and don't really see it as a "war" or "debate," just choices and balancing).  My post is about finances, pure and simple.  Wow.[/quote]

You're just wrong.  The title of the thread is "How much do you make?"  Not "how much does your DH make?" "How much DID you make?" etc.  Original PP was spot-on.[/quote]

SAHM PP, can you read the bolded part? Because you are coming across as very defensive. You are indeed in the wrong thread, sorry, but it's true. Agree 100% with PPs saying this is not "How much HHI/does your DH make?"[/quote]

Yes, I "can read."  Please read my initial post.  I answered the question, that I make "$0."  To me, it's relevant that this lack of income is acceptable to me because it enabled my family to have a much greater overall income.  Read the thread (I'll assume you can read, though you clearly wouldn't grant me the same basic civility.  Take a look at all of the additional information provided by other posters, both in this thread and generally on DCUM.  Posters are not required to answer an OP's question and not provide any additional information because others think it doesn't fall within an OP's parameters.  This is a forum, and we don't work for OPs.  In any event, why on Earth are people ticked that someone actually answered the question and then added context as to why it makes sense for her and her family?  Can't believe I (or others) have actually spent time going back and forth on what additional information I provided in addition to answering a question.  [/quote]

Ugh, you are SUCH an A$$. I can't wait to hijack a bunch of SAHM threads and say what a great choice WAH is and how everything about my working life is relevant to their staying at home because I'm SO SPECIAL I get to butt into whatever thread I want!

You are really defensive for someone who supposedly likes her life choices. Please, please go away. [/quote]
