[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand staying at home when the kids are still little and don't go to school. But once they are elementary school age, what do you do all day? [/quote]

I am not a SAHM, but I always think this question is so bizarre.

Do you ask people without children what they do all day after they get off work?  What do childfree people do from 5pm-11pm?  That's six hours a day.  Then they have entire days, sometimes multiple days in a row with no work at all.  Managing their household can't take up all of their time.  They aren't managing, cooking for, or cleaning up after anyone other than themselves.  So what do they even do with their time?

You are comparing women sitting at home all day while kids are in school...to, you know, people that worked 8+ hours and then have to go to the gym, do their laundry and cook dinner...and the kids’ dinner and homework.  They don’t have the luxury of working out during the day.

I WAH so I at least I make $200k and I’m still home when kids get off the bus.  I manage to do everything a SAHM does.[/quote]

News flash - some people don't work, and that includes SAHMs whose kids are in school whose spouses provide the income solo.  People with trust funds, retirees and people on long term disability etc don't work.  It is what it is, but why worry about what they do all day?[/quote]

I could never relate to someone who chooses not to contribute to society in some way (be it volunteer work, paid work, caring for their young children). I might also have a hard time respecting them. Just my world view on what it means to be an adult.[/quote]

I’m sure they don’t respect you either.[/quote]
