[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is the reason I do not work. My kids are in college and I am at home. I hated working. Hated, hated, hated getting up in the morning. Heck, even in college I never took morning classes.  I wanted to work because I thought working would be glamorous, fulfilling, life changing and interesting. Instead, it is like slow death. [b]Each day you go to office to live your life under someone else's thumb.[/b]  My DH works because he finds fulfillment at work. I have no issues. Biologically, societally, emotionally, physically, financially, I am ok not working. [/quote]

As opposed to living off someone else's paycheck for your whole life.[/quote]

No, no. Not someone else. Just my husband.  His paycheck is our paycheck.  I do unpaid work like making kids, raising them, taking care of most details of our personal life.  [/quote]

Let’s be clear that your contribution does not match your husband’s. You flat out admitted that “work” was too much for you. I sincerely doubt that you are an amazing SAHM. You probably use hubby’s money to buy services that leave you even more time to freeload. Sure, this situation works for you, but let’s not pretend that you’ve made some elevated choice about opting out of society to raise a better family. Instead, you’ve found a gravy train and you’re holding on tight. Perhaps, your ride will get bumpy at some point. You need to find a bit of humility. [/quote]
