[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The only reason the SAHM is even considered for the job is because working moms exist. Because women become moms and continue to work. So achieving the holy grail for a SAHM is dependent on WOHMs and that is a fact. You (not you, as in you, but in people in general) can't have it both ways. You can't say the ultimate goal should be to stay home and raise kids and then get back into the workforce because if a significant number of women did that, there would be no returning to the workforce for SAHMs in any role other than what my moms' friends returned to in the 1980s after raising kids - teaching, nursing, etc.[/quote]

I disagree with this view.  I think very few of us SAHMs would suggest that women (as opposed to men) should stay home.  I think one parent should stay home -- father or mother.  If we as a society were equally accepting of stay-at-home dads, then it would, I hope, be easier for all parents who choose to stay at home to re-enter the workforce.[/quote]

I think you should accept that dual WOHP families are the ideal if both parents are well educated, ambitious, highly paid and their kids do not have special needs.[/quote]
