[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I required the following as a sahm

Two hours every other day for exercise. This included prep and shower time. We walked with me pushing stroller. She didnt want to get in? Tough luck. I had enticing small treat for her and off we went.

Three hours minimum for housework. I usually did this during nap times.

One hour to cook.

The rest was free time, and I did a lit of inviting toddlers and their caregivers to my home or walkable playground. An hour or two was fine.

No $ for classes. It just seemed silly at that time. And a kid who wont sit still for story time shouldn't be at story time or else-- and id say this is more likely--is not at a toddler appropriate story time. Toddler appropriate story time involves movement.[/quote]

You really do three hours of housework a day?!  That is not a SAHM - that's an old fashioned housewife.  [/quote]

Yup. Housework is not beneath me. I was able to manage it just fine, and I like a clean house. I grew up w a clean, tidy home--managed largely by my parents' nanny/domestic goddess, herself a former lawyer, one of almost zero women in her era, spoke five languages, post ww2 immigrant and political prisoner, seeking new life in the US. She did it, and so did I. When I returned to FT work, I knew what could be successfully accomplished in 9 hours, and I sought and paid for that when we hired our own exceptional nanny/domestic dynamo. It's not a job for everyone. If it's not your cup of tea, I certainly won't try to convince you to take a sip. But I also raise my eyebrow at what appears to be your disdainful tone. Different strokes, that's all. [/quote]
