[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a White sahm and curious why it’s so rare in the Indian community. If your DH makes enough as a ‘physician/banker/attorney’ why not sahm for a few years at least? I don’t get the shame in it.[/quote] I'm Eastern European and it's taboo for us too. It's a sign of being uneducated or poorly educated (low ranked college or only college). My mom has a PhD in a hard science and believes that SAH is akin to dementia, as the brain drops its plasticity by not being challenged enough. We're also used to hiring a lot of help and there is no shame in outsourcing any menial tasks. I have friends from high school who have never changed a diaper or cooked a meal and our kids are college aged. [/quote]
