[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAHM are pathetic. At home doing the unpaid labor their husbands don't want to do. Who wants to spend their days cleaning house and grocery shopping?

I know so many super liberal SAHMs in DC who are all up in arms about their daughters' future reproductive lives while they literally are stepford wives modeling for their daughters how men have oppressed women for generations and the woman lap it up like they have won the lottery because they can take yoga at 10 am before the pediatrician appointment.[/quote]

I think WOHMs should spend their energy on getting equal pay for equal work.  Perhaps also work hard in fighting for flex schedule, maternity leave, on-site day care, ability to remote work etc - instead of berating SAHMs.

Because when schools and daycares closed all these WOHMs left the workplace in droves because they were royally Phucked!! COVID the great equalizer. [/quote]

Well, in some ways there is equal pay for equal work.  The pay gap doesn’t really come into play until women have children, start taking on the lion’s share of (unpaid) domestic tasks at home, and put in fewer hours at work.

As much as some of the posters on this thread want to pretend that anyone who values their time at home over their time at work is lazy, stupid, in a bad marriage, or unmotivated, the truth is that nearly all women put a high value on our time at home after we have children.

I don’t know if  the cost of childcare or if it’s biological or if it’s social conditioning.  Frankly, I’m in the process of raising three boys, and I think the drive to be around the is biological.  It’s, unfortunately, men who are the victims of social conditioning and a social structure that has them thinking they “can’t” care for children or that their biggest contribution to their families is financial.
