Also, SAHMs who say things like "our income" - it's not yours, it's your husband's.

You are an idiot. This is what is wrong with modern feminism. I will take 1920's feminism any day.[/quote]

Um, if you are staying home doing all of the childcare and homemaking as your end of the deal and your husband is making the money as his end of the deal [b]then saying "our income" is totally correct[/b].  And I'm a working mom who contributes 50% to our income but still recognize that being a SAHM is a job.[/quote]

No, it's not.  So when DH gets a raise or bonus for finishing a difficult project or solving a difficult problem at work, does the SAHM get to say, "Wow.  we got a raise because we thought of a really great solution to that problem/difficult project."  No, she does not.  And for those of you that'll come back here saying that by her taking care of all the household things she gave him the ability to get that project done.  You need to compare whether he would have completed that project if he were a single man living alone.  He thought up whatever that project entailed - he was  the creative or trained or talented mind that did it.  That's why she doesn't earn that income.

[b]she has every right to share ownership[/b] of the bank account where that icome was deposited (OUR money, OUR accounts) and share ownership of the assets (OUR house, OUR cars) because she does work as a SAHM and contributes equally to the household.  But it's definitely NOT correct that it's equally her income.  [/quote]

There is no legal shared ownership during marriage.[/quote]

PP you're quoting.  you are right - I assumed they'd have joint accounts and both their names on car titles and house.  I made that assumption because if she goes around saying "our income...we earn..." then I can't imagine her name not being on all those things.   :wink:[/quote]
