[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spoke to a fellow mom recently who told me 'I'm privileged to be able to stay at home with the kids'. While I understand why she said it and what she was getting at, it felt very odd in the moment. In fact it made me reflexively want to end the conversation as soon as possible. Does this qualifier actually make anyone feel better? Am i broken?[/quote] I think it is probably well intentioned. She may be a feminist and showing respect for the fact that not all women have this choice. Most people need two incomes to live in our area, and she is acknowledging that being able to live off one income is a privilege.[/quote]
