"As far as this article goes, I doubt that she is 'bereft of money' after 40 years of marriage. She not only gets half of the property, but a hefty alimony if she did not work for 40 years."

She didn't work?
Exactly what do you call raising 5 children?
According to you I don't "work" either - yet I find this business of raising kids to be the most difficult "job" I've ever had.
There are times when I crave the peacefulness of dealing with adults at a nice quiet office.-
I suppose I could hire someone to do the job I do - pay them - so they can be considered officially "working" (when I previously wasn't) so I can go out and "work."

Oh yeah...if I did this the Freepers would accuse me of abandoning my kids.

So guys...what is a woman to do? Please tell us the secret - y'all are so good at telling us what we're doing wrong but you don't give us alternatives.

Hun,
If you're a stay at home mom, you're called lazy and a pet for not working.

If you're a working mom you're a bad mother and abandoning your kids.

If you're a single woman, you're called picky snob and a feminazi.

If you're a single mother, well, you're just nuthin' but an ole ho/skank/slut.

Did I leave anyone out?
