Re: Wow...I'm surprised by some of this advice

02/04/07 11:56 AM

I was actually commenting to Gecko. The comment about an employer not continuing to pay his employee after quitting.

---> Sweetheart...I was a SAHM at the time of our divorce with three children UNDER the age of 6 and NO high school diploma and limited work history. So I would say that I felt "lost and confused and very discouraged".

When you choose to become a SAHM, you're doing it for the family.

---> Yes you are. And in return, you are being financial supported...or did you forget that since you are NOT working, you are NOT contributing dollars to the rent or utilities or food or clothing?

To me there is nothing harder then that of a SAHM and I've worked since I was 16 and gone to school full-time while raising my two oldest as a single mom.

---> Then you must not have worked at some very hard jobs. That is NOT to say that being a SAHM is easy, but it is NO worse or NO better than any other job...except that I don't know of any OTHER "jobs" that allow you to take naps or allow you to your "share" of homekeeping while "working" or do to do "personal" things on "company" time.

I've been out of the work force for 6 years. The money that you make in your marriage, whether by the husband, wife or both is the "family's". That does not change after a divorce.

---> Yes it does. Since you are no longer "employed" as a SAHM, you are no longer entitled to receive a paycheck. This does NOT mean that you are not entitled to receive your "pension" (aka alimony) early while you look for another job.

You come across as being very judgemental and in my experience, what comes around goes around.

---> Sounds like YOU'RE the one being "judgmental" since you have presumed to judge that I have no idea what it is to "feel lost and confused and very discouraged".

You should not be so incredibly harsh in your answer to a person who feels discouraged. This is not an employer..this is a family with children.

---> I was NOT "incredibly harsh"...I was realistic. Judges and opposing counsel are NOT nice people and they are NOT going to baby someone.
