Where did you fnd this sucker? 8)[/quote]

Back in the 80's....it was a very different time! We did not have the daycare options offered today. Working moms and SAHM supported each other. Most of our daycare options were to go to SAHM who took in kids. Not a lot of oversight and no tax advantages.  For us, we moved around a lot. Most moms worked around their kids schedule whe the kids started school. These were jobs, not careers.

If we were to split up, the law recognizes that the stay at home parent is entitled to half the assets. Sometimes alimony is awarded. Your comment is offensive and ignorant.[/quote]

PP, ???

I grew up in the 70s and there was indeed a great divide btw. SAHs and working moms.  In fact, to this day, my friends from school will comment about how their working moms felt like second class citizens when they interacted with SAHs.  So you must live in La La Land.

The 80s were super hyped up for women.  My friends and I were in college, hoping to land that great job.  One works for CNN.  Another is in marketing.  One's a CPA.  Another good pal is a dresser for Broadway plays.  Some have kids; some don't.  But they all work.  Some even make more money than their spouses.

But to even mention that the SAH is entitled to half the assets is embarrassing - and somewhat offensive to single mothers struggling to make ends meet.
