[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're not a "stay at home" parent for all of adulthood. Once your kids are in school you're simply unemployed.[/quote]
That’s a descriptor, not a job title. You’re unemployed before your kids are in school as well if you’re not gainfully employed.[/quote]

A stay-at-home parent isn’t a job title, either. It’s an excuse for not having a job— an excuse that loses credibility once your kids are in school.[/quote]

Wow, why do you care?

My stay at home mom did tons of things that other people paid outsiders to do- cleaning; yard work including mowing, planting, weeding, pruning; driving us kids around to multiple activities, meal planning and preparation, and so on. She also sewed lots of clothes for us when we were little and made things like curtains and pillow covers for our home. Plus, she volunteered in a number of different areas.

All the money she saved our family was non-taxable. I’d say she added quite a bit to the financial well being of our family, even though no one handed her a paycheck each week.
