[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So because I chose to stay at home and take care of my husband and kids, YOU DON'T RESPECT ME?  UNBELIEVABLE!

BTW plenty of working class men work very hard & are willing & able to take care of their families (and respect their stay at home wives.)

Nope, just don’t respect you in 2018 choosing not to be independent. You are dependent on a man for his money. You accepted to take a second chair in the relationship. Why is that unbelievable?

I could throw you a bone and state I’m sure you’re a great Mom. But, you could suck at Mom too. Don’t know you.

Let’s not kid ourselves. Ultimate respect is independence. You are a dependent and likely treated as a child in any really big decisions. You chose this path.

This choice appears across economic strata. Some women choose to have less power and independence. Lots of women work very hard, are willing and able to raise families as a single Mom. You’d probably judge her inferior for not finding some man to finance her life.

[b]You are a kept woman when you don’t make you’re own money. And you most definitely kowtow to the money supply.[/b][/quote]

It must burn you up when this isn't true.

You know all relationships aren't the same, right? There often is a power differential but it doesn't always have to do with money. Sometimes, yes, money does tilt the balance of power towards the person who makes more. But just as often the catalyst is affection or sex or appearance or personality or mental illness, etc. You never know what goes on behind closed doors. Very often the person who loves more has less power.

In other words, you're ASSuming something that isn't always true.[/quote]
