[quote=FlyerInHi]If your family coerces you be a housewife that you don’t want to be, then you’ve made sacrifices.
But you don’t get to choose to become a housewife, then claim you made sacrifices.[/quote]
With a family, any choice will involve sacrifices. Every family member will have to sacrifice time, energy, money, leisure pursuits, etc. In order to gain one thing, another must be sacrificed.
Do you think a wage earner makes sacrifices if s/he has a SAH spouse? Are sacrifices made if they have a wage-earning spouse and hire someone else to take care of their children? All of these things involve choice; does that mean that no sacrifices are made?
