[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well the truth is you do have more time than a woh mom who has 8 + hrs of her day dictated by others

Your 8 hours during that same time are yours to manage how you want and the truth is a lot of people suck at time management and fill in with hours with busy work that exhaust but do nothing.

SAHMs who have been home for years and never really worked also lack so many basic office skills - create a simple formatted doc, make a slide, create a simple spreadsheet - that WOHMs take for granted and do all the time. [/quote]

I have been a working mom and now a SAHM.

I recently told a friend that I did much more volunteering when I was a working mom than now that I’m a SAHM. I had far more energy when I was working. It was easy to make phone calls, write emails, make a flyer without a baby/toddler. It is hard to get anything done with a little human next to you. There is always something that needs to be done like dishes, laundry, etc and I have cleaners. It is just physically exhausting.

I have two masters and held senior positions. The reason I decided to stay home is because I felt I did not spend enough time with my children.[/quote]
