[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have zero preference re paid work vs. volunteering. But only 10 hours a week seems like too much free time that is not filled up with anything productive.[/quote] [b]Sounds like a Princess SAHM in training.[/quote][/b] Wow! Where did the snarky "Princess SAHM" comment come from? If someone situation allows them to be a SAHM and they are happy with it then good for them - what's your beef? BTW - I am a working mom who has been a SAHM, and a part-time worker as well...so been on both sides of the fence as well as on the fence. Coming back to the original thread -- I am with the poster who commented about a lot of wasted time. If the teenager wants to go to college then the volunteering and team sports will come in handy. Having extra time means that they can prep for PSAT or SAT etc. Get tutored for subjects they are not strong in etc. If they are into sports then maybe they can coach younger children etc. [/quote]
