[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it can be thankless and boring and overwhelming to be the SAHM. If you resent this role, then talk to you spouse and make a change. But as the SAHM (or SAHD), then you have a hard and essential role to play — and should not be fantasizing about some care-free existence. That will come, but not until they are all out of the home... [/quote] Agreed. Regardless of who stays at home, man or woman, that person should be responsible for the lion’s share of the chores, running the household, managing kids, etc. What the hell are you doing all day if you SAH but don’t take on that role? It blows my mind that you’d expect a WOH spouse to split it all 50/50 when they are gone 10+ hours per day between commuting and working. And yes, you can still outsource some stuff if you are SAH. But, unless you’re truly wealthy, I’d expect you to still be doing most of the housework as a way to save the family money. [/quote]
