[quote=Anonymous]DW is a SAHM
[quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing: the things that a stay at home parent does is undervalued.  Think of it this way: what would it cost to pay someone to:
1.  Keep your house tidy and clean daily; -for the most part we all do some work to keep house clean
2. Manage all doctors appointments and take your children to those appointments - yes she does this
3.  Pick up your children from school - I actually do this
4. Make sure homework is done, and provide tutoring to your children (tutors cost at least $100/hour, often more in the DMV) - DCs do this on their own
5. Do all of the grocery shopping - she does this
6. Do your laundry and take clothes to the cleaners - I do most of the laundry
7.  Pick up all family members Rx and run errands - I do this
8. Plan and cook meals - DW does this
9. Stay home with your kids when they are sick or pick them up early if the school nurse calls - DW does this

She always wanted to be a SAHM she expressed this to me when we were dating. Now she talks about how she gave up her career to be a SAHM, makes me crazy. She never had a career, she had an ivy 4 year degree she never used and was working part time when we got married[/quote]
