[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course, being a sahp is hard work but it's not an occupation because it's your own children. Just like cleaning your own toilet doesn't make you a professional cleaner. Or cooking your own dinner doesn't make you a professional chef. [/quote] I can’t believe I’m arguing that being a SAHM is not an occupation. This is really comical. I’m an exhausted SAHM of 3 young kids. I am beyond tired. Haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep in years.[/quote] I think it's more like one is a vocation that involves a lot of labor, a calling and a responsibility and duty -- but in some sense a lot more than a job. You can quit a job and find another one. You can change careers. I think once you commit to having kids, for most people that means taking care of them.[/quote]
