[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working is awful and takes away from life. Most jobs are absolutely meaningless and thankless, whether high or low pay, compared to spending time with loved ones, in nature or creating (bonus for those who create as their work!) Wohms who judge sahms are lame. I know many of both, I am now a wohm...I guarantee you it is not a mark of superiority, competence or worth. This country generally exploits workers and there is no reward for hard work other than pay. Good for the two moms who drove their kids around doing a mediocre job and lasted a year! That is a victory over capitalist shit.[/quote]

You sound fun.[/quote]

DP. More fun than someone who lives for work, at least. [/quote]
I love when sahms say this shit. It's not like your husband - who supports you, your children, your household, your family - isn't tied to work. It's not like you are both off doing some volunteer work or starting charities, he is still working and making someone else rich. [/quote]

Yep - sorry SAHMs who feel so superior to the rat race. Your lifestyle is still funded by corporate America.[/quote]

Conversely, sorry to the WOHM who feel so independent.  Your lifestyle is still dependent on someone else giving you a paycheck, and that can go away at any time.[/quote]

Isn't the SAHM just as dependent on a precarious paycheck that could go away at any time? The WOHM is no more or less secure than the DH that the SAHM depends on.[/quote]

Exactly.

I like being in control of my life and eliminating uncontrollable factors as much as possible.
Sure, I think DH will be loyal to me and be there for me and the kids forever.
Sure, his earning power will be stable and sustainable and give us a good lifestyle till we die.
But what if he loses his job or wants out of our marriage?
