[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I only asked because I seem to come across women who work and bemoan their jobs and wish their DH made more so they could just be a SAHM.

I also know women whose entire goal in life is to be a SAHM.[/quote]

I love my job and I'm proud of the fact that I can support myself, use my brain on a daily basis, and am a responsible adult (not relying on a man to support me).

I don't know a single woman who works and bemoans her job and wishes to stay at home. I do know a few women whose entire goal is to be a SAHM. I don't have much respect for them, but their life choices are meaningless to me but can well be unfortunate choices for them in the future.[/quote]

I'm not a SAHM and enjoy working, but wow are you prejudiced. Have you ever considered that there are long-term downsides to being a working wife and mother? A friend in her late 50s is currently in the midst of a horrendous divorce in which it looks like she is going to be penalized for having always worked (except 6 week maternity leaves). Yes, she CAN support herself and the kids are "alright", but her lawyer has been upfront that she'll get very little financial consideration for having having to start over career wise again and again as she followed her STBX all over the country for his career. He told her she'd have been better off in the long run as a SAHM.[/quote]

Hating women for wanting to be sahms is extremely sexist and discounts the main contribution women have had throughout history - bearing and raising children.  You should be weary of any man who doesn't respect this role.  I personally don't want to stay at home, but I still respect that raising children is a big deal.  Women working in an office is relatively recent in the grand scheme of things.  [/quote]
