I would have to agree that with time that we are more comfortable with our choices as women. Shabby (I feel funny calling you that) and Lori raise a good point too that there isnt much support for homemakers. Of course part of that has to do with choices sometimes. I live in a very modest cottage and drive used cars and make other choices that have allowed me to forego a career. But some people do that and still can't make ends meet without a second income.

Saddly I find that the economy has forced women to vacate what alot of us would rather do...be home. Afterall in the U.S. if we don't contribute to the meager Social security we get we really will get nothing. In England and many countries the women I think I've read fare better if they chose to stay home, we sure don't do we? Times do not support Mom at home and we really need to be!!

Thankfully I got to stay home but it was only because our one income could handle it. Most people look at you funny for staying home.

I'm not sure if that helps you at all, but thanks for making me consider an interesting question...<BR/>Mary<BR/>mrcarroll@optonline.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
