[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Note: you are completely dependent on your husband when you are a SAHM. That's a fact. But the assumptions people make about wohms are rarely grounded in fact. You have no way of knowing how many hours I work, if I telecommute, if I leave at 6am and get home by 3:30, etc. See? [/quote]

Here's another fact, sweetie.  The assumptions you make about SAHMs are rarely grounded in fact.  You have no way of knowing what kind of career we had before having kids, whether or not we made an incredible amount of money and were able to save most of it, whether or not we are the ones who brought money to the marriage, or whether our husbands came from money.  You really don't know the first thing about anyone's situation, other than your own.  See?

What we do know (for a fact, even!) is that SAHMs are fortunate, for a variety of reason, but mostly because they're in the position to choose when and for how long they'd like to be home with their children.  It's nice to have that control over our own lives.  Can't say the same about too many WOHMs.  [/quote]
