There were some people with STRONG feelings. I agreed with the ones who said to relax and not worry too much about what kids say at a young age. I wonder what those who would be mortified would say if it were another occupation that is not well paid or univerally respected. As the mother of 2 ds and (hopefully) a future grandmother, I hope the young girls of their generation feel free to stay home if it is right for them and their family. [ Reply | More

I think that being a SAHM is a valid choice to be made inside of marriage (or a relationship) but that it is not a career choice. Marriage is not inevitable and marriage at a young enough age where one never needs to work beforehand, is even less inevitable. Financial circumstances allowing for a single income and a partner willing to earn that single income are not things that will just happen for any woman who wants to be a SAHM. I'm of the belief that women should plan on a career and plan on working. I also think that if sah is a goal, then women should take some responsibility for the financial aspects of it - like saving more money in anticipation, etc. Then, if circumstances allow for it and the woman and her partner are in agreement, then that's great.
