Are SAHMS discriminated against. Red magazine are doing an article about it.

Just seen this on twitter.

Are stay at home mums discriminated against? Are you one and unhappy with benefits, or feel judged? Tell us.

Aha! So if a sahm wants support she's a moany old bag, but if a wohm seeks support, she's struggling and in need of sympathy?
Thanks for underlining in BOLD exactly what it is you actually think.

They hen pay taxes and spend their earnings and so on and so forth.. Quite logical really. Not rocket science..

where did you pop up from Permanetly?

Oh and a woman whose child is unfortunately picking up all sorts of illnesses step aside. She's asking if others have experienced the same thing. Don't see any whining there

Step - before I go to bed. Why does a SAHM need child care costs? I really don't get it.

Little, why would you mind helping with childcare if he earned 40k and I earned 20k? Wouldn't all families earning this income be entitled to child care help under these proposals. Why does he have to earn 60k and me earn 20k?

Not at all Stepaway. The subject is everything here.

Someone genuinely struggling with their life and looking for advice and support = fine.
Someone whinging that they aren't valued and appreciated by every sector of society just for living their life = not okay.

I doubt you'll understand though.

Someone will say in a minute - you know its not all about money you know and what you ACTUALLY put in!

Like I said before. Don't mind helping any working parents with childcre if they need it to support them stay employed. Regardless of wage. It could be £10k or £70k. But I don't see why I should pay tax for a SAHMs child care costs... Why do thy need it?

Its exactly the same wohm's will still say it comes from their taxes and they are paying for a sahm. Unless I am wrong and they will be funded from somewhere else.

So my question really was can all wohm's on here come to an agreement as to whether a sahm is paid.
If so then the comments about "if a sahm is paid then I will put in a bill for parenting" is futile as they clearly can't do that

Some very rude, patronising and condescending posts on here from WOHM.

I don't think sahm's should 'get childcare costs'
I do think nay, know discrimination towards sahm's is real.
Someone asked me at a party quite recently 'don't you get bored?' when I explained that I was a sahm.
If I'd asked her (and it's always a her, their husbands generally don't give a fuck about this divisive nonsense) 'don't you feel really guilty leaving your baby?' she'd probably have felt discriminated against.

Where did I pop up from?

Well it's taken me a while to catch up since last night / the early hours of this morning - there's nearly 18 pages of debate to be considered! Terrible, I know, but I've been on a day out with my family all day so this is the first opportunity I've had to see what's been going on.

Occupation is a job with defined terms,understood definition,and defined role
Parent is highly individual,done to own standard not an occupation

to me it isn't about money, as long as we have enough to get by, I couldn't give a shit where it comes from tbh. I don't care if I never put anything in again, in fact I probably will indirectly as most things are taxed anyway.

Someone genuinely struggling with their life and looking for advice and support = fine.

1)Hypocrisy 2) Double standards 3) Wilful ignorance.
That's all.
Good night.

I wouldn't feel in the least bit discriminated against if someone was rude enough to ask me if I felt guilty using childcare. I'd assume they had their own issues

Yes, why do SAHP's need childcare costs....

George,let's acknowledge the rude,patronizing,housewife at least I see kids posts

SAHM don't need childcare costs. They just don't seem to like other people getting it.

I know what you mean stepaway. I have a friend who often says "when are you going back to work then George?" If I was to dare to say to her, "when do you think you'll be looking after your own children?", she'd be bloody cross. Quite right too, as it would be a really rude thing to say. In the same way that asking that question in an accusatory tone is very rude when the SAHP is faced with it.

I notice stepaside has stepped off to bed without specifying which part of my recruitment process is discriminatory..

Ok according to your usual suggestions

understood definition - housewife,
defined role - serving wage slave, childcare, domestic cleaning, cooking.
defined terms - drudgery, reliant on wage slave

Sorry, don't get you Scottish?

If you SAHM are really getting those sort of comments in RL I suggest you go to different parties and socialise in different circles. I've never experienced in RL anyone making these sort of rude conments
