[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom used to have to ask my father for money to buy his birthday present.

I would never be reduced to needing someone (like a daddy) to support me. That does not feel like being an independent adult to me. That is just baked into my (female) DNA.[/quote]

You can be a SAHM (or SAHD) in a healthy relationship where that is not the case.  My husband's money is OUR money and always has been.  Just like if I made less than him (or I made more than him) our money was always pooled together jointly, we never kept separate "his and hers" bank accounts.  It works for us. 
Been SAHM for 20+ years, manage our finances and never felt as if I was slighted for "not having an income"[/quote]

This is totally me, too!  It is our money, I agree. I loved being a SAHM and now I am an empty nester and was very happy to spend those years with my DC's[/quote]

+1 Now being an empty nester as well, and still "SAHM" means I can travel with my husband easily anytime we want.  Arranging a pet sitter is the only concern.  So it means we get to travel and see the world a bit more before he fully retires.  [/quote]
