[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He goes to work to earn money and that is his job.  You stay home and take care if all household/ child duties and this is your job.   You probably have a cleaning person as well  as a nanny or au pair so why should the person earning the money help you with anything?[/quote]

So if you had two working parents or a single man who hired a housekeeper, these people would work their outside of the home jobs, hire a house cleaner and they would never have to life a finger at home? Sorry, but even single working people are going to have to come home and take out the trash or cook dinner or wipe down the kitchen. Working people with kids will also presumably want to spend some time with their kids in the evenings during the week and on weekends  They will have laundry to do on weekends. You’re delusional if you think the SAHP needs to do 100% of the housework and child duties all the time including evenings and weekends. The working parent isn’t “helping” the SAHP, but just doing his or her job as a parent and adult. [/quote]
