[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading the thread men who are incapable of caretaking because the original poster is about to get surgery and her husband has no idea how to do anything in his house to help her is a stark reminder that you are the only person in your household who is cooking cleaning and doing laundry and taking care of the kids it can absolutely bite you in the ass if you're taken out of commission and your spouse is a totally incapable of picking up slack [/quote]

I know right! I also wonder what happens if  the SAHM gets struck by cancer or dies, how will the husband cope? [/quote]

It's a lot easier to be part of a larger community if you have more leisure time.  This is part of the reason I quit my job.  My cousin (a SAHM) died, and a whole community of friends and relatives stepped in to help raise their children.  It made me realize how isolated we were with both of us working all of the time.

Are you part of an immigrant community? I can see that happening with immigrant families but not Anglo ones.[/quote]

No.  We are involved with our church though.  [/quote]
