[quote=Anonymous]The double standard included my own mother. I am a SAHD, and my sister was a SAHM. My mom was totally fine with my sister doing that, after all, my mom did that for years, giving up teaching to raise a gaggle of kids in the 1960s/70s. But when I let her know that I'd be staying home with our little one, supporting my wife's $$$$$ career and most importantly providing a parent at home with our child, you could sense her uneasiness. She often made comments about was I looking for any part-time work, have I given any thought to this job or that job, etc. Comments she *never* made to my sister. So it goes .... I have to admit it bugged me a lot at first, but I learned to just shake it off after a while. [/quote]
