I've been thinking about some of the differences between these two types of parents. (See also Part 2, Dads With Jobs vs Moms With Jobs.) Now:
At a party, SAHDs are asked, "What do you do?" SAHMs are not.
If a woman chooses to be a SAHM, she is:
- a lazy throwback
- not fulfilling her potential
If a man chooses to be a SAHD, he is:
- making a sacrifice
- taking a break from work
Men who stay home are doing something great for their wife and children. Women are just, you know, doing what they're supposed to do.
SAHMs are "homemakers." SAHDs are "musicians."
