[quote=Anonymous]11:22: "In your examples, though, the person would be "respected" for coordinating care for someone who can't take care of their own complex medical needs, or doing "significant, meaty volunteer work." Not for staying home and raising their own kids. I think for a lot of people, it's not that you disrespect someone who is a SAHM, but you don't necessarily admire them, either. " No, those women are not respected for those activities either. I'm (NP here) one of those women, and just yesterday, I was asked "what do you do" at a luncheon. I explained how I spend my time. "Oh, that's great! What's your day job?" I tried to explain that I was a mom and those activities constitute how I spend my time when my kids are in school. I was dropped like a bad habit. It was abrupt and rude, and I didn't even know how to react, standing there suddenly alone.[/quote]
