[quote=Anonymous]OP, I see where you are coming from but I think your view of this issue is heavily influenced by your own cultural experiences. My best friend and her husband live in the U.S. but are from a country in the middle east. Despite being a nurse, she does not work out of the home. She does everything -- cooking, cleaning, child-rearing, etc. 24/7. When I visited her, I felt trapped and could see how difficult it would be to be a SAHM in their cultural context. I am a SAHM but my husband helps with the kids, cleans and gives me breaks from the kids. I'm not saying my culture is superior but it is different from hers so its difficult to make generalizations about life as a SAHM without this context. Just my 2 cents. [/quote]
