[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think of it that way. Staying home with my kids (2 and 4) is what I want to do, and I think I have the right to spend my day/life the way I want to. Yes, I think there are brilliant scientists, human rights lawyers, etc. who are "worth more" to society than I am. But I don't think only SAHM's can say that. Most employed people could say that, too.[/quote] The difference is, ALL SAHMs are worth less to society than the professionals you named. Some working people are, some are not (teachers, doctors, some lawyers, etc.). I just think we have to be realistic about that. SAHM is a lesser choice, for people who are maybe not as clever or ambitious. That’s ok. We’re not all equal.[/quote] You can be a teacher or a doctor and a SAHM. It’s not like you have to care for children all of your working life. It’s ok that you can’t think of it that way. We don’t all have cognitive flexibility. [/quote]
