[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am still trying to figure out what exactly sahp’s think they need lobbying for?

Most of this post seems to be about respect, which isn’t legislated.

I was home for 2 years with my youngest (not really by choice). There is definitely a divide between parents staying home and parents working.

It is also incredibly difficult to live on just one income these days, unless it is VERY high.

There are a lot of things we could do to better support families in general - universal healthcare, affordable childcare, affordable housing options, etc.

But I really am still trying to figure out what exactly OP is advocating for.[/quote]

If this is about supporting families, great. Being a SAHM is hard, being a working mom is hard, being a working dad is hard, being a SAHD is hard, being a single parent is hard…being a parent is hard. I support a woman’s right to choose - which is really a parent’s right to choose whether to work or stay hime when they are privileged enough to be in a position that it is even an available choice. I do not support making your choice, being miserable about it and complaining to the whole world non-stop about it (not saying OP is doing that). Like so many choices in life, there are pros and cons to both. [/quote]
