What’s the biggest misconception about SHAMS?

[Summeroflove]

Stay at home moms…. So I’m asking the SHAMS’s out there, husbands of SHAMS, or anyone else who knows them or maybe raised by one

[Hardon-Collider]

The biggest misconception is judging the inner reality by the outer role. SHAMS is a spiritual force, a life-giving power that flows through a woman's life, regardless of her job title or where she lives. It's not about being a 'stay-at-home mom' or a CEO. It's about the quality of her inner being. The real question is not what a woman does, but what her soul is. You can't measure a river's power by the size of the lake it flows into. You measure the river by its depth and current.

I think people mistake them for being weak or dependent because someone else is bringing money to the family


But a family is an “enterprise” in of itself
And the people in it don’t need to have the same role to be valuable


Homemaking is a tedious job to have
I wouldn’t want to do it honestly


so being a stay at home mom (or dad) shouldn’t be looked down on as weakness but instead praised as true sign of strength and virtue

One of the biggest misconceptions about stay-at-home mothers is that their role is easy and that they have a lot of spare time. The reality, however, is often the opposite. Being a stay-at-home mom is a demanding, 24/7 job with no sick days, vacation time, or breaks. The work is constant and varied and often goes unrecognized.

If you have children, what is wrong with a stay-at-home-mom? Childcare can be expensive. What is the point of working if the money is just going to pay for childcare? That makes little sense.

[Summeroflove]

Great answer! Are you one by chance?

[NoDecision]

No, I have a business and job.

We don't like gold diggers empty our wallets!

Get a job and you're own money. I never agree sharing bank accounts.

[SuperZonicGUY1992]

I got no degree no kid. How will you support the kid?

[Summeroflove]

@SuperZonicGUY1992 by not being so far in debt with some useless degree

[NoDecision]

@SuperZonicGUY1992 Well then you can just whack off instead of having a woman with children then.

I feel for stay at home moms just the fact they can't just quit and leave the saying" don't take your work home with you" is right out the window I try to help her with as much as I can and just told her other day I would like to help with more around house guess when you get older you realize how much you take her for granted my wife works only to stay home after kid was born for few months

[dwreborn]

Also there has been time where I've been home and she was only working both should do what needs to be done

[Anonymous]

The biggest misconception about stay at home moms is that people think they just stay at home and do nothing.

[Summeroflove]

And unfortunately there is ones that do that make the rest look bad. But most don’t

[Summeroflove]

Are you onne

[Opinion Owner]

I'm not married, so I'm not one of them.

[Summeroflove]

But makes sense yes.

[Summeroflove]

Being around then you can see how hard they work if you know women who are. Or men for that matter who stay home

[Markella7]

It's easy but it’s not kids always demanding, the spouse needs something. Not a mom. But i’m Aunt I stayed what my nieces it was a lot.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I get the joke in the typo

[SuperZonicGUY1992]

Woman need to get their own jobs or they will empty you're wallet!

[jazzy34]

That it’s not a job.
