[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biglaw turned SAHM here. But the point is that this is a choice. I remember getting breaks. I also remember getting told I needed to drop what I was doing, cancel plans, and put everything toward a client issue.

I actually enjoy being a SAHM. I just think it's not a good fit for someone who can't multi-task, and who struggles with the day to day drudgery. Yes, it's fun. Yes, even I take naps sometimes. But I still deal with the regular stuff, cleaning, laundry, meal prep, and keeping my kids alive. Because I can juggle. Those who can't aren't served by being home.

OP, you get you time. Your kid naps. Your DH takes the kid on the weekends for outings without you. You volunteer and have a sitter come. I just don't get what you want short of basically having your kid in someone else's care, which means you may need to find a job. [/quote]

OP here.  I don't volunteer and have a sitter come.  That was someone else.  We are currently looking for a part-time babysitter to come two per week, including one weekend day, for a few hours.  We have never had childcare help so far.[/quote]
