[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else view being a SAHM as being a luxury? We can't afford it, but I view the option to live off 1 salary as being a luxury. A few of my friends have the same view.[/quote] Its a luxury in an ego free, loving, committed marriage where it doesn't matter who is doing what and who is earning what. Combined goal is to have a happy, healthy and smoothly functioning prosperous household. In a marriage where a partner's value is merely dependent on their earnings or chore-ing, fidelity is not a given and egos clash regularly or money is very tight, its not a luxury but a liability for both partners. Same goes for two job family, if egos are fragile, fidelity is questionable, dividing money and chores is a battle than material luxuries are of little benefit.[/quote]
