[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the moms who choose to be SAHM, I feel like this is insulting towards dads. We would feel targeted if there were a list that was the opposite...

"You are a privileged mom if..."
- you don't have a boss
- you don't have to fight DC traffic
- you don't have to juggle kids AND work, always falling short
- you can attend your kids' weekday games
-you can wear activewear all day
- when the kids are preschool/school, you have a few hours 
- you can eat lunch at home
- you can grocery shop when it is not crowded 
- you get the luxury of going on field trips instead of being stuck in meetings 
- you don't have to worry about money, it just appears
- you don't fund your kids college accounts, yet the still exist
- your didn't buy your car, but you have one
- you don't pay for dinner, yet everyone still eats
- you don't have to ask how your husband feels about being the sole provider, because he just does it
- if you husband messes up at work, no one gets mad at you
- you don't have work deadlines to deal with 
- etc etc etc

[b]There is something to be said for the division of roles and duties in a healthy marriage. [/b]Many women, like myself, love staying home and view it as a privilege. Yes, my husband is privileged too, but in different ways. Let's not attack each other for these roles that we chose. [/quote]

My husband and I divide certain roles and duties as well, but we both work. Having one parent be responsible for the children while the other spends their time working isn't the only recipe for success.[/quote]
