It is an eyeopener even for a woman who for a while pulled two shifts a day. I suffered for the unpaid labor I performed as the wife who stayed home and held everything together. His ss is much more than mine, plus he had a private pension that benefits him. <br /><br />The coal miner at least gets ss from his toils. And, I know he has a very difficult job. <br /><br />The Christian sahm's are eating this all up. Women on a pedestal have few options, so they can stay there. I was a sahm because I wanted to be with my children in their formative years. I would not trade the world for that opportunity. Yes, when I worked a shift at home, plus one that was paid, it was a low-paying job since I put him through college and was denied the promise that my turn was coming to go to college. <br /><br />Yes, it is all just a distraction, but the right has so many fine Christian women who are wooed by hearing their exalted position praised. So, the real issues are not what we hear. But, legions of SAHMs don't care.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24855322.post-63053985411342568902012-04-16T08:50:25.096-07:002012-04-16T08:50:25.096-07:00You know what's really depressing about, Buste...You know what's really depressing about, Busted?<br /><br />Here, in 2012? Is that it's not nonsense talk for "them."<br /><br />There are millions of very privileged women who love to hear their luxurious lives venerated and called "tough" by men for whom they will deliver their votes.<br /><br />And trust me, it's a way more trusted vote center than that of the harassed, working (or not), lower or middle-class woman with children who probably does it alone (whether there's a man on the premises or not).<br /><br />Never underestimate these clowns.<br /><br />They know where every vote is.<br /><br />And will make up a few more to join the real ones when the occasion demands.<br /><br />Love you!<br /><br />Single Mom, <br /><br />SCirzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070125217972397204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24855322.post-26566238480156554532012-04-15T07:57:46.464-07:002012-04-15T07:57:46.464-07:00This argument about women is also a way of objecti...This argument about women is also a way of objectifying the "stay at home" mom as some kind of modern day Madonna, elevating he to a status that is not only saintly, but wealthy, since she has that choice, economically. One of the real arguments here is the issue of "unpaid labor" and the millions of working women who pull the "second shift" at home, since this kind of "work" has no economic value, any woman who does choose to stay at home with her children loses out when it comes to social security. And you are right, this is bullshit, and it's depressing.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17885426575922045330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24855322.post-81279326963791068342012-04-14T17:12:03.923-07:002012-04-14T17:12:03.923-07:00Lots of "sparklies" floating around to d...Lots of "sparklies" floating around to distract us from the center ring...Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.com
