[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd love to be independently rich and not have to make a living. But I have enough integrity not to pretend it would be a great contribution to society!

I'm all for choices. As long as you own your choices. If you can and choose to be a leach, it's fine by me. I wish I was! Just stop telling me you're some sort of unsung hero, and we'll get along just fine :-)[/quote]

Yeah, no one here has even implied they're an "unsung hero."  That's just what you hear when you think of SAHMs.  And no, I doubt we'd get along "just fine."[/quote]

Please the 'hardest job in the world' is trotted out by many a SAHM. Or the 'sacrifice' they are making for their family. It's a lifestyle of leisure and a choice they made, just own it and no harm no fowl.  I would love to just hang with my kids and answer to no one all day. [/quote]

Really?  All I hear from the WOHMs on this site is, "Well, I do all of that and MORE!"  Talk about a martyr complex.  Also, have you ever SAH?  The fact that you call it a "lifestyle of leisure" suggests you haven't, especially as a SAHM of babies and young children.  There is [i]never[/i] a moment to oneself.  As the kids are older and in school, then sure - there is more time for "leisure" and I have no problem at all owning that.  It's a great life, but it's certainly not ALL leisure time.   :roll: [/quote]
