Ugh to Stephanie.

SAHD are amazing. As are SAHMs.

Nelumbo — Perhaps. But I don’t think the interviewer would consider the woman “weird” or “gay.”

I think you have to take into consideration what field the stay-at-home dad is in. Software development is a rapidly changing field, and a man or woman who took that much time off would easily fall out of touch, so the interviewers have a right to be worry. I have heard that women have problems, too, coming back to scientific research, so it’s a problem for both sexes.

i think the age of a woman has alot to do with how she feels about herself, i was raised to believe that i had to get married and have kids, however, i (actually my husband and myself) have been raising our children to have enough confidence in themselves that each of them should pursue their dream. my oldest daughter has been in relationships, she chooses to share her life with someone, but she doesn’t need someone to make her life. things are much different now, i’m glad for her.

the Sahm lady?…living in lala land…there is no more unrewarding job than being a sahm. People poop and throw up on you, mess up the house all day long, you’re in and out of the car driving someone to somewhere. Rarely are you thanked or appreciated. Damnit, I gotta get me a real job.

At least there’s no double standard!

Note to self: Don’t let wife read this article; she may take it as validation of something….

Gina,

I also linked to the crazy guy who wrote this: Self-Confidence — “How to Develop the Self-Confidence You Need to Succeed in as Few as 31 Short Days!”, and you’re not complaining about him.

Neil,

I LOVE you and your blog, but I am GROSSLY disappointed that not only did you quote Stephanie “I’m so fucked up” Klein, but you LINKED to her.

What is the world coming to when people read her posts for insight to anything??

She is so incredibly damaged, that I can’t even imagine how she sustains friendships, let alone a relationship.

My husband is a stay at home husband. He works out of his home office and takes care of our 3 children. Okay, they are cats… But he works very hard. I’m the one who commutes to the city every day. Eh, it’s not to rough on either of us. Thank god we don’t have any children yet…
