Right good lord. Such delusional morons.

We are a dual income 600 k plus family and we are not “wealthy” by any stretch. Almost all of the SAHMs I know in my community in Bethesda - and I have many sahm friends - didn’t earn enough for it to make sense for them to pay for child care. That’s true for 98% of the sahms posting on here, I have no doubt at all. Teachers, paralegals, HR people etc. Its not some moral high ground choice. Back walking it into one is so tiring and transparent. And if one more of you posts one of those “and just like that nobody ever asks a SAHM what they do all day ever again” just know we are all - all - rolling our eyes so hard. Do you do our jobs and homeschool too? No? So okay, not the same. Goodness. Nobody wants to fight about it just stop marrying yourself all over the place. [/quote]

I agree. All of the SAHMs I know fall into one of these categories:
- Wouldn’t make enough to “pay” for childcare (ignoring the fact that childcare *should be* a shared expense),
- Dealing with a difficult situation (SN child, ailing parent)
- Have a spouse who works or travels a lot and is generally not around

I am Stanford educated and know many Ivy-educated women, but I just don’t see very many outside these categories who stay at home for extended periods of time.
