I required the following as a sahm

Two hours every other day for exercise. This included prep and shower time. We walked with me pushing stroller. She didnt want to get in? Tough luck. I had enticing small treat for her and off we went.

Three hours minimum for housework. I usually did this during nap times.

One hour to cook.

The rest was free time, and I did a lit of inviting toddlers and their caregivers to my home or walkable playground. An hour or two was fine.

No $ for classes. It just seemed silly at that time. And a kid who wont sit still for story time shouldn't be at story time or else-- and id say this is more likely--is not at a toddler appropriate story time. Toddler appropriate story time involves movement.

You really do three hours of housework a day?! That is not a SAHM - that's an old fashioned housewife.

Who else is going to clean the house?

Not PP but DH and I split the housekeeping chores in the evenings, mornings and weekends same as we did when I was working out of the house before we had a baby. My job is to care for and educate our child during the day.[/quote]

Nothing, and I mean, nothing was more annoying and frustrating than coming home to a completely wrecked house after a full day of work. I know being home is hard (I did it too for a bit), but it almost killed my marriage when my DH tried to pull this crap when he was home with our kids (he also got a damn job because enough was enough). I get that you can't have a spotless house as a SAHP. I get it. But when things are so gross and you walk into the same mess you left, you might not be cut out for being home full time.

Back to OP. I had serious back issues post partum with both of my kids. Physical therapy repaired a lot of my issues and I learned that for a lot of women if you don't nip the back issues in the bud within four or five years, you are facing a long time with pain. Get a referral from you OBGYN.[/quote]

Our house is never "wrecked"  I pick up after DC and do all of his laundry, etc.  Basically it is just like when we were both working before we had a child. [/quote]
