What pray tell is that one responsibility?  Is it cleaning and housework? Laundry?  Cooking and packing lunches?  Is it changing diapers?  Driving Kids every where and going to all conferences/appointments?  Is it taking care of all the finances?  Is it taking care of a elderly sick parent?  Is it homework help?  Not all families have a dad who can help with these tasks, most high earners have super long hours and/or lots of overnight travel.

I have far more time for mental breaks and far more adult companionship when working outside the home.

I never understand these lists. I WOHM and do all of these things. Granted, I don't do them during the hours I am working, but they all still need to get done, meaning either my schedule has to shift around or I have to do them at night and on the weekend. [/quote]

I don't get this either.  I do laundry, make lunches, cook, change diapers, go to kid stuff, take care of finances - AND I work outside the home.  So I do your job and another one.  [/quote]

Nope, you outsource childcare and a SAH does not-- that takes up the bulk of her day and a few hours of yours.  [/quote]

Right, and work takes up the time that her kids take up.  Why is this so complicated?  It's the insistence that SAHMs are so busy because they do all this household stuff - we all do it.[/quote]
