[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No wonder young American men don't want to marry. All it is is an induction into indentured servitude so wifey has a "choice" in whether to work or not. I have never met a SAHM who wasn't outraged at the suggestion she get a job when her husband got laid off. [/quote]

That's ludicrous.  How many SAHM's with laid-off husbands are you talking to?  My DH faced a health scare a few years ago that would have forced him to leave his job. I was glad that I'm educated and have work experience and knew I could find something to keep us going if it came to that. We're a team, someone needs to work, someone needs to look after the kids.  We do what we have to do. [/quote]

I know two SAHMs that "accidentally" got pregnant when their youngest children were 8 and 10-years old because the husbands demanded they get a job.  Neither had a job their entire lives, but some nonsense got a year or so before they started popping out kids.  They have effectively never worked.  It's really strange to me.

I sometimes wonder if they will encourage their daughters to do the same.  [/quote]

Your job must allow you a lot of free time to wonder about these acquaintances children's future reproductive lives.[/quote]
