[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've known a few SAH dads. One dropped out of college to work in sales; two had liberal arts degrees (French and Philosophy). All three seemed to do a lot of job hopping with no clear career path. All three loosely identify as musicians. [/quote] And this is where the stigma lies. Most times they SAH because their career is flailing or they have a mental health issue, and that stains the entire group. Granted many SAHM have lake careers that wouldn’t cover daycare but that’s a-ok. For men it’s a character flaw. On top of that, SAHM shun them because they don’t want smelly guys belching at the coffee shop or passing gas in yoga. So it’s lonely and people assume you addled. [/quote]
