[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is very little societal support for working mothers.  No maternity leave, scarce expensive childcare,  no limits on hours employers can extract from employees.

It is a wonder that anyone has children.[/quote]

Sadly this is a class thing.  My employer has very generous benefits. I also find work makes my life much easier. We have school aged kids and a daily housekeeper. I haven't ever operated my own laundry, I dont go to the grocery store, dont clean my own house (have both housekeeper and a weekly deep cleaning), and dont organize my own closets. I come home at 5pm each day, (when I'm not WFH) to an organized home, kids who have completed their homework and a from scratch healthy meal that is 50% prepped, I just do the finishing touches. I spend my entire evening with my DH, kids, or simply curled up on the sofa enjoying a book. However you will never find me doing chores. If I chose to SAH (and believe me, I could with DHs income) no way could I justify a 30hr a week housekeeper to do the dirty work that quite frankly is boring and tedious. I'd be happy to never step foot in a grocery again in my life. If I didnt work, it would just be flamboyantly over the top.[/quote]

You can totally justify the housekeeper if you can afford it, and trust me, you would find worthwhile ways to spend your time if you wanted to.[/quote]
