[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is off the topic but I felt compelled to write this : I think it is downright mean and nasty to insult SAHM moms who have been jokingly referring them as CEO or CFO of the " home economy". It is their house, the decision to stay at home works for them and their family, also, managing finances at home is not an easy job and good for them if they are managing it well. I say this as a working mom, who loves to work because I get bored if I am at home all day ( I envy women who make running a home their full time job because that's exactly what it is and it is hard sometimes). We choose to work because it works for us and our family, they choose to SAH because it works for them and their family. Please show some RESPECT. And to the OP, yes you need to discuss this issue before proceeding to quit your job. I was a SAHM for several years( when kids were small), I managed our family money and my husband never ever questioned my decisions or my ability to make good decisions. [/quote]

I find it pathetic when people refer to themselves as the "CEO/CFO" of the home economy. It is disrespectful and insulting to people who hold a f/t position outside of the home while juggling parenthood.[/quote]

But it is not disrespectful and insulting to call those people "pathetic"?

People can call themselves whatever they please. Someone else light-heartedly calling herself CEO or CFO or HR manager or whatever doesn't denigrate or degrade your choice. Strange that you think it does, frankly. Everyone tries to make the right choice for his or her own family, and that choice doesn't affect your family at all.

In short, get over it.[/quote]
