[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Highly personal.   I loved being at home with DS when he was 0-6.     Now he is on school property or engaging in an organized activity (at which I am not present) from 8 a.m. to 5:00 pm most days.   Soccer, chess, instruments, math club, student council, etc.

Me personally, I don't see the point of "staying at home" while DS is in another building, by law or by his choice, KWIM?  What would be the point for me to sit at home while he is not even here?

To be fair, SAMs don't "sit at home" and wait for DCs to come home. KWIM?  [/quote]

Actually, I did just that for a whole lot of those 9 hours (8-5) ***when zero children were at home.****

No one will ever convince me -- because I lived it, remember -- that it takes 45 hours a week to grocery shop, prep dinner, take the dog to the vet, plant a garden, visit my gym and do a few chores/ errands.  Unless someone is wildly crazily inefficient.

Of course I know that a woman need not sit at home while all her kids are gone from 8-5. She might hang out with friends, go to Pilates, get her hair blown out, take tennis lessons, participate in junior league and visit museums.  And work on junior league committees that support museums.   A steady schedule of these sorts of things would definitely fill many hours.
