Who do you have more respect for?

Question

The stay at home mom with the rich husband?

Or the working single mom?

Answer 1

It's not a question of respect but I'd prefer to be the stay at home mom with the rich husband so I could raise my own kids without daycare

Answer 2

its the same.

Answer 3

Hmmm, I'd say the working single mom. My mom was a single parent who worked her butf off for my sisters and I. She defines strength and courage despite the odds. She's a warrior.

Answer 4

SAHM (rich or poor husband, doesn't matter)

Answer 5

Working single mom.

No respect for women that stay at home (except when there are really small children involved) and sponge off their husband. Then cry that they have nothing when he leaves for a younger model.

Answer 6

The working single mom cause she is working to support herself and child and not depending on the goverment for help.

Answer 7

Horsy I can honestly say that I can and do respect both.  If the one has a husband that can afford her not to work then that is up to them.  But if the other is a single mother with no choice but to go out and provide for her family then so be it.  So long as both feel good about themselves and what they are contributing to society that is all that really matters.

Answer 8

I can't say that I unilaterally respect either of them.  There are people worthy of respect and those who are not.  There are some really crappy people who are SAHM's and there are crappy single working moms. Employment/marital status doesn't make a difference in character.  I respect those people who are dedicated and true to whatever their chosen path is and who are good to those around them... regardless of what their path in life is.

Answer 9

I wouldn't nessecarily respect either one- it would depend what kind of parent they were.

I would feel worse for the working single mom's kids if she had to work when her kids were not at school, because the kids would be missing out on mommy time.

Answer 10

Definately the working single mom.
