Nothing SAHD About Staying Home
The Hostess, one of Profunksticated’s favorite bloggers, has a discussion going on how she’d like to be a stay-at-home mom (SAHM).
Me? Early on in my marriage, I would have reveled in being a stay-at-home dad (SAHD) if The Spouse had brought home six figures worth of bacon. Stop snickering. I’m serious. This is when I was in my late 20s and otherwise very status-conscious. Hey, I could take care of the kids and freelance write from home. Damn straight.
Come to think of it, I still wouldn’t mind being at home with my youngest son even today if The Spouse could work. And at 48, I really, really, really wouldn’t give a damn what anyone else thought about our arrangement.
Peace.
I don’t think I’d desire to be a SAHM.. I’m one of those women who feel they can work and take care of the kid at the same time.. I guess it’s all about balance. And I know for damn sure I couldn’t handle MY man staying home…LMAO!
Having read you for some time, 23, I find that your sentiment about a man at home doesn’t surprise me. Still, wouldn’t you want a Stepford husband to greet you at the door with a dry martini after a hard day at the office??? OK, maybe sans the heels and pearls, but in a tux set off by his pair of shined Florsheim Imperials? Having put the kid to bed with a candlelight dinner prepared? C’mon, now, wouldn’t that scenario change your mind about a househusband?? LOL!!!
