[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In all of this discussion, what I find strange are the SAHMs who are ignoring the very obvious fact that BECAUSE they choose to SAHM, their husbands - the fathers of their children - very likely feel much more pressure to succeed and likely spend much less time with their kids.

So why is this so admirable?  My mother SAH with me and my siblings.  And that was fine.  But it meant I never saw my father.  Perhaps I would have preferred her to work at least part time so some of the pressure was off my dad...

Your valid point has been brought up on DCUM, but very few acknowledge it - thinking that it's only a woman's job to care for the children.

I often wonder how same-sex couples handle their situations?  Does a gay male who decides to SAH feel "emasculated?"

I work PT, which definitely allows my husband to spend more time with the kids b/c my salary pays for tuition and activities.

Let's face it.  Where is there true "balance" when kids see more of their mothers than of their fathers? [/quote]

I don't agree with this.  I think you either want to succeed at your job or you don't. You either are the type to spend 80 hours a week working or you aren't.  It generally has nothing to do with whether or not your partner is working part time.  That part time income doesn't impact the actual job that the other person has.  [/quote]
