    I don't want to hijack the other thread. So creating a new one with a poll.

    I have been working but right now a home maker looking forward to start working soon.

    According to me home maker or working woman both are equal. Being a home maker is not luxury nor working woman is great compared to home maker. Home maker can always join a job and start working. Family with a home maker spouse live within their means which is a blessing. A working woman has the luxury to hire a domestic help. If she does not want to do that to save money but come and slog at home as well it is her choice. So just because a working woman who works both at home and office is not Great compared to a home maker. It is all personal/family choice.

    Having said that working woman are great only when they are the sole bread winners or some families where both spouse work to make ends meet. But when it comes to additional earning or luxury saving both are equal.

    Who is Great? Both are equal.
    Who do you like to be? Working woman to provide financial support to my family.

    why the difference - regardless of why a woman chooses to work, standards for her at work are the same.

    Hah - the great SAHM vs working mother debate ...

    If I would have the wealth so that I would not have to work I would be happy to do so. I would then focus on volunteering and other that kind of activities. But I do not have that wealth so I need a salary to provide for myself and my children. There are times when it makes sense to stay at home (and live on your spouse salary) such as when children are small and no feasible day care. But also then it has to be a mutual decision and financial planning is important. How do you save for your retirement if you are planning to stay for long? How is the marital property being divided in case of divorce or death?

    By sharing the burden of the financial responsibilities your spouse will also have more opportunities to take care of his children and family. It would not be fair to have the other one be the solely bread winner.

    I feel that the working women is greater because they have to do the household work like other home maker like looking after kids,cooking food and etc and also had to do work on office
    So I think that working women is superior than home maker

    A working woman usually doesnt like to become a homemaker. Even if she says she would like to be a homemaker, somewhere in her heart she would definitely miss her office life. This is my personal experience and opinion

    Why does it even have to be a debate?
    This is not a contest. Women choose to work or stay at home based on their interests and circumstances. More power to whatever works best for each person.

    Its the choice that make you great. You choose to be happy to do what you want to do , and not do something cause someone wants you to do it makes the difference....
