[quote=Anonymous]"Then please elaborate on your reasons! We heard from one who chose to become a status symbol, and others who thought they'd get pregnant right away. Who are the others? I can honestly say I think staying home to become a status symbol for your husband is being a waste of space. If you're staying home because you were burned out in your field, and want time to figure out something else, I can understand that. If it's to take care of a disabled or ill family member, I can understand that too. And if it's because your career was too stressful and you fear it was impacting your fertility, then maybe that's the right choice for you. What I cannot identify with are the status symbol wives. Everyone else, my opinions don't apply to you. My opinions shouldn't bother you anyway. It seems you all certainly have strong opinions about us bitches who do work. " I work, and I'll add my bias. I know a lot of women who SAH, even before kids though they are planning to have them, or stay home once their kids are all in school, because working and running a household involves stress. That's a way lame excuse unless you can't really make much money to contribute to the family's income anyway. And I don't know any SAHMs whose husbands regard them as full partners in major decisions, such as where to live. Ultimately, the house the family buys has to work for the earner's commute, right?[/quote]
