SAHM to a really wealthy guy. Pros: able to spend tons of time with my kids, able to pay for things I dislike doing myself (cleaning, cooking, laundry), able to ride horses and pursue other hobbies while my kids are in school, no boss/clients, etc. [ Reply | More

But you have to constantly play a role. It's all about him. You have to kiss his butt, look fabulous, act like you ADORE his friends, and drop your whole life instantly if he wants you. I used to work for a wealthy guy, and I learned that his non-working wife had a JOB, and it was 24-7. [ Reply | More

No no! Poster above is me, and I'm a SAHM. I mean being a non-working wife / SAHM to a WEALTHY man. My DH does well enough that I get to SAH, obviously, but I don't play the role my former boss's wife had to. [ Reply | More

np: itda with this. she said wealthy, not superficial. you can have money without being all about outward appearances. i'm a sahm to a middleclass guy. we can afford help with housecleaning and stuff so while i'm not living the high life, i am not completely stressed out and just to spend a ton of time with my kids.

Wait, not sure where my response went in UBland. I am obsessed with decorating magazines and love learning about antiques, seeing different spaces. So what job would that be? I don't think I'd be that good at interior design. [ Reply | More
