[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This is unpaid work but it is work. And since it is work, it gets done by someone. Marriage laws were made in societies to make sure that women got the social, emotional, financial rights of being a homemaker and a mother. There was a quid pro quo for this unpaid labor.

As a SAHM, I do not have to be paid.  I am an equal partner with equal rights on the household wealth and assets. I am granted rights and protections under the law.  Only foolish  and ignorant people need to see these graphs and realize that there is a dollar amount associated with the unpaid work of women at home. These foolish people are not going to change their tune either. These graphs are not going to convince them.

Smart people realize that this labor is unpaid and they are appreciative of the work that women do - SAHM or WOHM. Their intelligence is rewarded by happier households and shared goals. [/quote]

As a SAHM you do not have equal rights under the law to the household wealth and assets.

You do have equal rights as a divorced wife though.[/quote]
