Did you see the report in The Times? Working Mums are Happier than SAHMs

[singleparentdad]

There was an interesting piece in todays Times. It was a report on some findings by some southern acedemics. The report said that working mothers have more 'life satisfaction' than stay at home moms. I think this is very contentious ground, and that we should all be looking for a happy medium.

For the links and my comment on the subject jump onto my latest blog post singleparentdad.blogspot.com/

I've started a thread in News about this, singleparentdad. Would probably have been better where you put it though!

happy medium

Cheers UQD, you are on the ball.

Based on some of your comments on the other thread, have you written a book a la stay-at-home dad perspective?

No, not SAHD especially , just aimed at all dads!

I seem to have done combinations of everything over the past 7 years: SAHD for a bit, both part-time working, being the full-time earner, being the "auxiliary" earner and now both of us working...

Fantastic. I could learn a lot from you, if you have the time of course. Would be great to read some of your stuff, could you point me in the right direction?

I'll send you a link via your homepage.

Read exactly who commissioned and carried out the report.

Oh well, there is always reports saying things like this. I a few weeks time, probably there will be another report saying completely the opposite.
I work full time, but a lot of times, I look at mums/dads that stay at home with their kids, with a little bit of jelousy, but I don't think I would enjoy it full time. Unfortunately, financial circumstances won't let me prove it

I think that was just the point I was trying to make in the other thread, ceci.
