[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a myth without

1.  SAHP with the understanding that they will do most if not all of household and kid (if applicable) maintenance
2.  Total Outsource

Even in number 2 you can't outsource everything and resentment can build if the extra stuff isn't split equally

Many people try to do the whole someone having a less demanding career but then all the extra stuff falls on them too in addition to their still pretty time consuming job which causes additional resentment.  In these situations its usually best to do one of the options above instead

OP, I am a SAHM and even with outsourcing quite a few things I feel stretched. Thankfully my DH does a lot.  But if I fall sick for a few days. things slide quite a lot.

I have no idea how working moms do it without help.  And even with help it is not easy for a working woman. You are essentially doing two full time jobs.  I would suggest to outsource what you can AND let a few things go.   Perhaps your kids do not have to do their activities during the weekday.  Maybe you can do the activites during the weekend and your DH can be in-charge of driving them around?
