Sahms - what's your schedule during the week?

I think these always turn into wars because at some point the term changed from housewife to stay at home mom, so people are taking credit for full time parenting when (according to these threads) that's not really what many are doing (with childcare and such). If we went back to calling women who don't work for pay "housewives" I bet there would be a lot less consternation from the working mothers.

Idk. My best friend is very adamant that she's a SAHM and not a housewife. She only watches the kids during the day. And then at night her husband and her split cooking and cleaning 50/50. She says she's not a housewife because she doesn't have dinner on the table when he gets home.

This. To me housewife is a FT job. SAHM who donk cook clean or do stuff in the house or look after a child is a freeloader- entitled bitch

If you are not earning or saving money, you are spening it. If you dont know how hard it is to earn money as a SAHM, and on top of that prefer to outsource cooking cleaning and child rearing to someone else, you are indeed an entitled bitch. You should not have reproduced. Your husband demonstrates bad judgment in marrying you.

You seem to forget that I am doing a job with monetary value -- childcare. My husband works 80 hours per week and he would have to hire 2 nannies to replace me if anything happened to me. The work I do now is worth more materially than what I did before having kids.

That's a little unfair. You should view it right now as one nanny. If you were to get a job you'd most likely need ONE nanny. Not to mention that you won't need a nanny after the youngest is in school.

My logic still holds. You are SAVING money. Which is what I wrote- remember 3 buckets- earning money, saving money or spending money

Love how you included drinking water in the car but didn't mention lunch for either you or your kid! I'm any case, sounds like a great, well balanced schedule!

Hahaha because he wakes up at different times in the morning it's hard to predict his bottle schedule.

OMG this back and forth is insane. The rich have ALWAYS used their money to get out of doing things they don't want to do and that are basically a drag! Since the beginning of time. DUH. Why would it be any different for rich SAHMs????

If people are super rich, just assume they have much more leisure time than you and much less drudgery. Period, the end.

No need to argue about it. It's like arguing about water being wet. Talk about a waste of time.

Only insecure miserable people engage in these stupid fights. You do you. I don't care whether you scrub your own toilets.

Yeah because every job I know allows working parents to finish their workday in time and to pick up their kid by 3:15 when school is done!
