It's great if it was about celebrating a woman's choice or her enjoyment to be a SAHM, but not if it put it up against those who choose to or have to go back to work. The great thing about the time we live in is that we have choices now.
I know there is sometimes a feeling in society these days that women are almost expected to go back to work and not stay home more than a year. I'm hoping to stay home as long as I can, but in these times you just never know and I may choose to go back to my workplace in a PT or casual capacity for enjoyment and/or income. I'm not a 'domestic goddess' by any means, but I'm trying I'm not a huge fan of cooking!
Again, in this household there is no such thing as 'women's work'. DH helps out where and when he can and is a great cook. (Thank God)
As for a husband (or wife, I guess) who expects this and that and only allows a certain amount of 'pocket money'. There is no way I could live like that, but I guess if you have a happy marriage and it's working, then good on you.
