[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an immigrant SAHM. [b]IRL, in our circles - how the kids are doing is the only thing that matters - but SAHM/WOHM does not matter. I think it is mainly because daily life, work life, raising a family, household maintenance and social obligations - all of it is a mental burden for women mainly, and no one glamourizes working/not working. I am not saying that people are unaware or unappreciative of the financial benefits of a paycheck. Once I was introduced to a new person. Without any preamble she asked me "Do you work?" and my instant response was -"Oh, no, no, no. I’m not stupid enough to waste my life working for money."[/b] Why do you think someone needs an answer to this question? Can you just say that you are happy not working? [/quote] Wow. [/quote]
