Typical SAHM with school aged kids day

Get back, put in the laundry and clean the house, put in 3-4 hours work (from home), cook various dinners for the evening, pick up the kids, help them with homework and music practice, go for a bike ride (weather depending). Read books and play board games or talk with the kids, get lunches made for the following morning, have dinner with husband (kids dinner is early), go to bed.

You are not a sahm, you work half a full time job!!!

With all the exercising and volunteering, DC must be a veritable paradise with very fit ladies!

I do wonder why the SAHMs I know aren't fitter.

Not a troll. Think it's pathetic that women go to the gym, "do paperwork" (whatever), and get pedicures and call it a day. Hope they have more ami iron for their daughters.

If you represent DC's working women no wonder women make 78% on the dollar. You can't spell or write to save your life. Meanwhile the SAHM's posts seem quite lucid. Perhaps that is why they had more options available to them whereas you had to keep working and seem bitter and revolting. Maybe you should stick to the WOH Mom threads as these seem to upset you.

Have a light lunch out. Arrive home to meet the kids. Nanny will help with homework. Housekeeper has dinner prepped, so I'll just shove it in the oven. Have a glass of wine and wait for DH to come home around 9.

The title of the post says "TYPICAL". This is not a "TYPICAL" sahm day.

PP is a troll. Ignore it.

If she makes 78 cents out of every dollar, it's due to those who opt out - not those who stick it out.

Have you ever been to the gym at 9:30 on a weekday? It's filled with very fit women. Maybe you know a different SES of SAHM than I do.

Do they still have babies/preschoolers?

You mean 78 cents?
SAHMs' posts?

Exactly. Pathetic argument.

I have a husband who travels frequently when not working from home. Our life would be chaos and I would be a resentful mess if I was back at my 60 hour a week career in finance which also included frequent travel. I had a tremendously successful career which I'm happy to talk to my children about. I'm also happy to teach them about being adaptable and that I could make the choice to do what was best for an entire family of people because I loved them. Our house is peaceful and their lives are better because of the choice my husband and I made. You may find that pathetic but I'm quite proud of all of the choices I've made as well as the home life we've created for our kids. Luckily your judgment doesn't affect me in any way. You may not think you are a troll but you certainly aren't the sort of woman I would hope my daughter turns out to be.

I'm not paying for college to see my daughter stay home.

Who knows? I have a toddler and a preschooler, work full time, and am fitter than I've ever been in my life. Multitasking isn't for the weak.

That's a bit simplistic even for DCUM, don't you think?

Hopefully you won't be helicopter parenting her into her mid 30's, which is when I made the decision to stay at home. My career before then was quite fulfilling and I am grateful for my education.

But hey, you do you when it comes to the decisions that you make for your Daughters.
