[quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't care if women choose to be a SAHM or a WOHM.  I think it's great that there is choice now.  If you want to SAH and put your energy into that, I think this is a win.  Any issues with the kids is handled eg school drop off, sickness, time during the day can be spent cooking and cleaning so that evening and weekend hours are kept for fun.  If finances aren't an issue, I can see the advantages of being a SAHM.

However if you want a career, have passion for a particular field then that's also great.  Working in a partnership with your spouse to support this and make family life work is doable, plenty of women are doing it now.

In a lot of cases both parents need to work, so if someone takes less hours to be available at home, that is also a great option.

I think women need to celebrate choice rather than thinking women need to be a certain way.  I really do feel like women feel like they should all be doing the same thing, you have to fit the current theme otherwise something is wrong with you.  What if women just did what works for them and we celebrated women being able to have choice.  Choice they never use to have, so how about it stops being an issue because one way doesn't have to be better than another way.  Kids will be happy growing up in a household where the parents are happy.  No point for a woman that hates working to try to force that upon herself and if someone is unhappy sitting at home why do that.  It doesn't make sense.  Just do what works for your family and brings the most happiness to your household.[/quote]
