[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being a stay at home mom is very acceptable in Muslim culture, but somehow we are backwards. We are raised to only work if we need the income. I think it’s great we have choices. The biggest problem comes when you work and your husband isn’t pulling his weight. That happens a lot. I know there are a lot of women on here with great husbands but the majority of women are tired and would like a partner. They don’t want a helper or occasional babysitter and that’s what some men end of being. It truly sucks and there isn’t a lot you can do to see what kind of dad the guy will be. Men change. It easier to clean up when you don’t have kids and younger. There is also all the mental energy we need to put into having kids. I’m burned out at a PT working mom, but I also get tired as a stay at home mom. Having choices is great but a lot of use are still tired when the kids are younger, special needs etc.

Haha you raise a good point that when other cultures think a wife should be SAH, it's viewed as backwards/regressive but if a white suburban American mom does it it's aspirational.[/quote]
