[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm another rich SAHM and my husband just bought me a new car too (loaded Mercedes SUV for cash) and guess what? He's handsome, smart, an awesome father, the same age and we suck up to each other! Your turn, Ms "that's laudable".

I am a stay-at-home wife/mom and have been for 23 years.  My husband doesn't buy me anything because the money is ours together.  That's what it means to be married.  There is no "his money".  It's all our money.  I just got a new car as well.  It's not a "loaded Mercedes".  But it's a pretty cute mini-van.  We didn't pay cash.  We don't have that kind of money. But we do have really good credit, so we were able to finance it at 0%.

I don't think you have to be obnoxious to justify being a stay-at-home mother.  I think most women are more like me.  I am grateful that my husband has a great job with great benefits.  I am thankful that we agree on the way we want to live.  I would hate to feel like I was bought.  I would hate to feel like I was spending someone else's money.

I am very glad that I married a man who values my role in our home.  He calls me "the heart" of our home.  I'm glad he sees my role as full-time homemaker, wife, and mother as important.  And I'm glad he sees me as completely irreplaceable:  No maid - No nanny - No cook - No daycare could ever do what I do every day because I do it out of sheer love for my family.  I am grateful that my husband sees me as his partner and his equal.  I know not all women have the choices that I had.  I am so thankful I did.[/quote]
