[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it allows them to be better parents I think they are smart and I’m jealous (in a good for you way).

I’m a SAHM with three kids and a husband that makes just under seven figures.  We have zero hired help other than occasional babysitters and no family near.  I feel a lot of guilt if I need to resort to tv so I can go clean the toilets.  [/quote]

Huh? Your husband makes just under a million a year (7 figures) and you have no help?What am I missing?[/quote]

You are missing nothing, I think it is bananas too.  Not that I want a full staff, but a weekly house cleaner would be glorious.  In fairness, he does his best to help me cleaning, but just isn’t home much to help. [/quote]

So hire someone. [/quote]

Seriously.  Or go play your tiny violin somewhere else.[/quote]

Might be one of these situations where the guy makes/controls money, and believes, because his wife "doesn't have a real job", she should be able to manage the home without any help.[/quote]

Why do SAHMs need so much help?  Seriously, if you don't work you can clean your own house and mind your own kids.  Isn't that the point?[/quote]

No. The point is to be there for the kids, not be a house maid.[/quote]

And I’ll also say that standards these days and in our area of way higher than what many of us grew up worth. My house is way cleaner and nearer than DH’s parents’ house was, and I keep it that way by having cleaners a few times a month. I still do dishes and daily chores, it’s not like we SAHMs who hire help are all sitting back and watching the kids play while a housekeeper follows them around. [/quote]
