Cemar, that is so interesting that your mom was ridiculed by other woman. I agree with Fran 100% that the SAHM is definitely looked down upon when it comes to working moms. No, not all woman look down on SAHM, but some do. It's like they're only doing half of what working mom's do. Me, I have a HUGE respect for SAHM and single mother's. My H has been there for me when I'm going insane b/c DS won't stop crying. I don't know what I would've done if it weren't for H. I really have a HUGE amount of respect for women's roles in life. It's tough, REALLY tough. For my stitch, I actually make more than H does. So me losing my income will actually bring us down to less than half of what we make now. That's hard to swallow! But we live w/in our means, pay cash for everything, no loans except for on the house, no credit cards. . .we're trying - really trying to get me to stay home. I just wish it were soon!!! But you make an interesting point about not earning as much as you're spending when both parents work outside of the home. You forgot to account for gas, which is a HUGE expense!!
This is a very interesting conversation. I'm glad that it was brought up!!!
