[quote=Anonymous]I was a SAHM for a bit and recently went back to work. I used to cringe when my 4 YO started asking me why the "daddies" she saw in the grocery store during the day weren't working. She never asked about the "mommies." I've tried to maintain the mantra that anyone can be anything-- men can be preschool teachers and women can be firefighters, etc. Regardless, I think that the environment kids grow up in is the biggest influence on how they view gender roles. My mom was the breadwinner in our house and my Dad was home by 4:30 and made dinner every day. When I thought about my future, it literally never occurred to me that there were still people who stuck to traditional roles because they couldn't imagine life any other way. [/quote]
