[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of the most beautiful, thoughtful and well educated women I know are SAHMs. They matriculated at Ivy League universities, chose demanding career paths, married men with equal ambition and eventually chose to become head of household realizing that both partners can’t work 80 hour weeks and raise a family. These women truly amaze me. [/quote]

Why couldn't the men they married have chosen to become head of household and become SAHDs since both partners can't work 80 hour weeks and raise a family?[/quote]

b/c gender roles will never disappear

As women, we can claim that we're educated, that we once had a demanding career, that we made a good salary to support ourselves when we were single. But when marriage and children come along, we're the first to state that we're the better person to raise the kids and to run the household.

It's the rare husband/wife TEAM who will flip roles and be proud of the fact that this arragement is equitable.

And why should the Harvard grad earn more respect for staying home than the administrative assistant making 1/3 of her salary? FWIW, I would look at the Ivy grad and think, "huh . . . you spent hundreds of thousands on your degree and barely used it."   [/quote]
