[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or, you could turn over all responsibility for your material stability to another person, find your self-worth entirely in serving children who will outgrow you, set your family up for disaster if your husband dies/leaves/has a brain tumor. Oh, wait ... you have a business that brings in extra dollars and cam easily be ramped up to full-time, support-the-family mode if necessary.

Also, there's an awful lot of self-congratulation here for enjoying domestic labor. I find it stultifying. I don't work fulltime either, and I've still outsourced quite a bit of the child care and cleaning. I also know that we are lucky, lucky, lucky to be in the financial situation to have one full time job, one WAH part time job, and still have weekends entirely free and the resources to hire help. You are ridiculous in your assumptions about OP and WOHMs.

Oh, and congratulations on choosing so well in the husband department. I assume that took all of your best skills.[/quote]

Actually I do make a lot of money, probably more than you and I probably work less hours too. But it is not as easy as snapping two fingers and I am not self congratulatory about it- it is what it is. Life isn't perfect and second wave feminism has destroyed many protections that women used to have after the Civil War. So for that reason, women need to have a marketable skill. But its not for self fulfillment..its for protecting herself and her children.

The problem with people of low intelligence is that they are too quick to criticize as opposed to asking questions. An intelligent person would ignore the tone of my posts and inquire more. But a bottom of the barrel type likes to see others on the bottom with them. So instead of encouraging them to rise above the filth, you give them ways to stay stuck in the nastiness. You too can be miserable wives and moms with nice job titles like us...just get another woman to do everything you should be doing for your family and hope your kids appreciate all the gadgets you can buy them.[/quote]
