      • Since you continuously seem to reply to every single comment on here I'll asuume you "worked and saved up" So you could not have a job and watch tv/troll on isitnormal all day. Its only work if it provides for your living situation. A single mom can't support a family solely by taking care of her babies, therefore any other person involved is supporting her financially! Wow logic dictates reality! Only control freaks want to work extra hard so their wives dont have to, and people stuck in 1840s society wise. And lazy women.

        • I think you have a real problem in how much you tie your self-worth in with a job. Nobody ever looks back on their life and says 'gee, I wish I spent more time at work'.

          • Absolutely not. And hey, if you want to get by as a street musician or whatever more power to you. I don't have a rich expensive job, and I really don't tie much of my self worth into that. You keep evading the plain fact that making sure your own children arent starving and your own living space isn't disgusting IS NOT A JOB AT FUCKING ALL, and if you don't earn any income you are living off the income of others. That's the point here troll.

            • I'm not evading anything. Would it make you happy if I said 'SAHPs are unemployed in the traditional sense'? I'm not arguing that. But keeping up a household IS work, everything that a SAHP does is a 'real job'- maid, child care, accounting, etc are all jobs people do and get paid for. I'm not saying you should get a salary for doing these things for your own household, I'm just saying it's legitimate work. And I never said it was the hardest job in the world.

              I have continuously described a SAHPs contributions as 'added value'. Some of it is objective- money saved, for example. Some is subjective but still valuable- quality of home life, for example. That's a type of earning...contributing something valuable other than money.

              Remember, you also have no idea if they are contributing money or not. You're just assuming. There's lots of ways to bring money in besides having a job.
