[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The SAHM job is one of the hardest - totally undervalued and underestimated.[/quote]

[b]It’s precisely valued. Nanny and housekeeper rates are readily available[/b] [/quote]

And yet, when working parents had to do this during the pandemic, there was a widespread trend of leaving the workforce because it was too hard. Obviously, it’s not as simple as what you describe. Otherwise people would not have quit higher paying careers to take care of their children.

Your attitude is the epitome of how caregiving is devalued in this country. Until we stop ignoring and minimizing the realities of this (often unpaid) labor, women will continue to leave the workforce en masse. That hurts ALL working women, it hurts the economy and sets the entire country backwards. [/quote]

Wow you are obtuse.

Parents left the workforce during COVID because they couldn't work a full-time job while also watching their kids and helping them with school. You really think that's the same as just taking care of a kid? Seriously? People quit higher paying careers to take care of their children BECAUSE THEY HAD NO CHILDCARE.

Your attitude is the epitome of stupidity. [/quote]
