[quote=Anonymous]For the moms who choose to be SAHM, I feel like this is insulting towards dads. We would feel targeted if there were a list that was the opposite... "You are a privileged mom if..." - you don't have a boss - you don't have to fight DC traffic - you don't have to juggle kids AND work, always falling short - you can attend your kids' weekday games -you can wear activewear all day - when the kids are preschool/school, you have a few hours - you can eat lunch at home - you can grocery shop when it is not crowded - you get the luxury of going on field trips instead of being stuck in meetings - you don't have to worry about money, it just appears - you don't fund your kids college accounts, yet the still exist - your didn't buy your car, but you have one - you don't pay for dinner, yet everyone still eats - you don't have to ask how your husband feels about being the sole provider, because he just does it - if you husband messes up at work, no one gets mad at you - you don't have work deadlines to deal with - etc etc etc There is something to be said for the division of roles and duties in a healthy marriage. Many women, like myself, love staying home and view it as a privilege. Yes, my husband is privileged too, but in different ways. Let's not attack each other for these roles that we chose. [/quote]
