[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you all arguing about schedules and hours? You don't need to prove something how your schedule is superior to someone else. People have different lives, so what[/quote]

Well this whole thread is about how many hours you spend with your kids so....[/quote]

And of course SAHM’s spend more, so the whole argument is stupid. [/quote]

The difference is nominal.[/quote]

DP. I think the difference depends entirely on your family priorities and individual schedule. I only know my work schedule + commute didn't allow me to see my child nearly as much as I currently do. But perhaps if you quit your job, you would see your child less than you do now. YMMV. [/quote]

I think the PP who said "the difference is nominal" is the lunatic who "did the math".  She is apparently intimately familiar with her SAHM neighbor's life and determined that she (the WOHM math PP) spends more quality time with her kids than this particular SAHM neighbor who apparently rarely chooses to engage with her kids and uses every hour of preschool she can find, and doesn't go out with her kids, and blah blah blah blah.  I mean, cool story bro.  So what?

If the math PP quit her job then she would be spending more time with her own kids than she does now because she is obviously a fantastic mom who wouldn't be doing the things her neighbor does.  That's the relevant comparison -- between your own WOHM self and your SAHM self; not that between how much she spends with her kids now compared to like the worst SAHM she can find.  So utterly stupid! [/quote]
