Re: OP of this thread

As I said in one of the comments, I have an (older) friend what was a sahm for about 8 or 9 years. Despite being incredibly smart, and having great credentials from her younger days it was really hard for her to find a job, and she's now working a job below her ability (and below the pay grade she deserves). I just always wonder: what if the relationship goes wrong? Suddenly; no income. No house. Some alimony, maybe.

What if I have a job and I'm laid off and can't find a new one? What if the field I chose to work in changes drastically and I'm screwed unless I go back to school and retrain? Suddenly: no income. Possibly no house if I can't keep up mortgage payments, which can be hard to do without an income. No alimony 'cause there's been no divorce. What then? Does that make having a job a dumb option? Of course not.

There's risks to both choices, but you're only focusing on the ones for SAH parents. That's not only silly, it's the very definition of prejudice. Please, instead of pissing on a large segment of the population who might think differently or prioritize differently than you do, take a step back and realize that it doesn't make them brain-dead drones like you seem to think. :(

Finding yourself out of work when you have a career going on is a relatively small risk that decreases with education/certifications, and with age/experience. Finding yourself out of work while you're an SAH is a certainty. The level of risk is not even kind of comparable and it's disingenuous to suggest that it is. Yes, careers can go awry for all kinds of reasons, but at least one has experience and professional connections to fall back on when it does. Meanwhile 50% of marriages end in divorce. Risk assessment is not prejudice. 'Thinking differently' is not an excuse to ignore reality.
