[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was working when my kids were in daycare... came home when they were all in school.  I found the demands of having school-age kids (homework, school closures, activities) to be more demanding and less out-source-able than the demands of having younger kids.  [/quote]

Serious question from someone with younger kids...how does that work.  Once they are at school 6-7 hours a day, how is that busier.  Isn't all that stuff concentrated into after school (late afternoon, evening, weekends)?  I was looking forward to having more energy, not less.[/quote]

She’s making it up. It’s way easier once they go to school and you have so much more free time. Some women need to justify themselves not working...[/quote]

You do all the cooking, cleaning and shopping during the day but after school we have tons of activities for the kids and taking care of elderly relatives.  There is plenty.  I don't need to justify why I'm not working and I don't have to.  It is between my husband and I.[/quote]
