Fuck that shit. My mom was a SAHM for most of my childhood. You're basically implying that she's less of a person or less worthy of admiration than a woman who chose to work full-time.

Fortunately I am able to understand that not everyone has to be like my parents. It's almost like if your mom weren't a full-time working woman, you wouldn't be able to understand that full-time work is a valid option for women. As for me, I don't know what I want to do yet, though I'm pretty sure I want a career of some sort...I might prioritize family time when my (as-of-yet nonexistent) kids are very young, but I think I will work more than my mom did. That doesn't mean I can't look up to her, though; she's a wonderful woman who taught me a lot and has outstanding character.

It's funny that you are the person equating career choices with personhood here. No one said your mother was less of a person. They just said her career choice wasn't that great. You're the one who's being unable to separate the two.

My mother was mostly an SAHM (she got a very part-time job after a while, only two short shifts a week). I don't think she's less of a person than me but I do think her life was unnecessarily limited and miserable and that the financial inequality contributed to an awful marriage.

but I honestly don't feel I'd look up to my mom as much if she were unemployed.

Nope, that wasn't me.

but I do think her life was unnecessarily limited and miserable

I'm truly sorry if she was miserable. That said, your mom =/= all SAHMs.
