Because SAHMs actually work - they take care of the kids, clean, cook, run errands. SAHDs can barely take care of the kids.

A husband comes home to a cooked dinner, clean house, thriving kids. A woman comes home to a destroyed house, piles of dirty dishes, no dinner while kids didn't do their homework and had chips for lunch.  That's basically the difference.[/quote]

What a sexist comment.  Sounds like you just married an incompetent man.  Did your DH never learned how to do his own laundry, cook for himself, or clean his house?  Most adult men can do these things just fine.  And most dads I know are fully capable of taking care of their children.  [/quote]

I agree with PP.  The original post was extremely sexist.  I'm not sure why people act like men have to be total dummies when it comes to kids and cleaning. It's not rocket science. I used to have to work late in the evenings and DH got home very early.  I'd always come home to cooked meals and a clean house on those days.  When I go on business travel I never worry about the house or kids because my DH is just as capable as I am, if not more.  I'd never have kids with a guy if I felt he couldn't handle basic household chores and if he couldn't take of the kids, then we'd certainly be one and done.

Women need to stop babying men as if they are idiots.  I know a single father (wife died) who does an excellent job with his young daughter.  Keeps a clean house, takes great care of her, and even does her hair himself.  [/quote]
