Yes, it'd be a total adjustment for dad to suddenly take on more responsibilities. A family change like that requires time to work out all the details, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing your story! Best wishes with your masters'! Sheila, you bring up excellent points! Yes, it’d be a total adjustment for dad to suddenly take on more responsibilities.

I did go back to school and am currently working towards my master's in education. I believe every woman should have the choice to stay at home or work. Unfortunantly, many mom's don't have the choice, and because we live in a cultural hegemony, this program is for the mom's out their who are considering going back to work. The message is clear: being a mom is the most important thing. There is no mention about the father's helping out and we all know if she does go back to work she will be doing the double duty which is probally more exhausting than most mom's can handle. The question shouldn't be should I work or shouldn't I, if you financially have to then the question should be to the husbands. Will you help me with the household chores now that I help with the bills or not? I am a SAHM and have been for almost 9 years.

Of course some parts were silly, it's reality TV! Everyone seems to be forgetting that. I'm a SAHM, but I have worked at times too. I think kids are first for most moms, but to say that having an interest or passion to use your brain in a different way is evil is kinda silly. Every situation is different that's why I think watching the show is cool. I can't wait to see how other moms and families handle the options....by the way, that's all it is "an option". Why is everyone thinking if women choose to work, they are not choosing their kids?!?!?!? They are picking one over the other. I thought the show was fun.

I think now that I'm glad I didn't. I chose to be a SAHM for 9 years and just went back to work last year. It has been really difficult. I really loved nearly everything about being a SAHM and now find myself reminiscing all too often. I enjoy my current job outside the home but I am still responsible for all I did while a SAHM. It really peeves me off when people assume being a SAHM is somehow less than fulfilling. It was, by far, my FAVORITE job ever.
