Yikes at this thread. Never give up your job to stay home, ladies! You need to look out for number one. [/quote]

Well, the problem is, the SAHM role does not get enough respect.  Think of the myriad jobs a SAHM does and consider all the people you hire to replace what a SAHM does.  I sometimes feel as though the feminist movement eliminated SAHM as a choice for women in that the concept of alimony seems to have gone away.  IMO this role should be a viable option for a man or a woman and it should be protected under the law.  A woman or man dosesn't stay home with the kids without the consent of the other partner.  That was a choice that partner also made, and the consequences of one partner out of the workforce should not be a burden only that one person has to bear.[/quote]

See above what men write: you have to work at 48! As if there is an abundance of well paying jobs available to a SAHM  after a long gap with employment. These men are totally self centered and disconnected from reality.

The problem I see is that deep down most men don’t care if their wife stays home.  Whereas a lot of these wives talk about how much they are doing for the family, the sacrifices etc.  However, their husbands don’t care and place little value on it.  They are just going along with it.  Then 10 years later they get divorced and the wives talk about how they gave everything up, quit their jobs for their family.  Problem is their husbands never asked for that.  [/quote]
