[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Indian-American parents would likely have been concerned if I became a SAHM for any length of time, but they were thrilled my brother’s wife (also Indian-American) was a SAHM before the kids were in mid-elementary school years. My mom was a SAHM while we were young, then went back to work (which she was eager to do). I had no desire to be a SAHM, but I am “amused” by the hypocrisy of it…[/quote] And of the various Asian-American women I know (from those who immigrated here, to those whose families have been here for several generations), I can only think of a handful of SAHM. But that might be selection bias, since most of these women I know thru my school or work, and most of the SAHMs I know are from my children’s activities/schools, spouses of my co-workers, and friends/wives of friends of my husband.
