[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] . . . I’ve never used a SAHM for anything. All the class volunteers in my kids classrooms work. [b]What exactly is this labor? And are they forced to do it? *tiny violin[/b][/quote] I often get called on snow days or other days off school to babysit and its annoying. [b]They aren't offering to pay and I want those days with my kids.[/b] If I wanted their kid, I'd invite them. And, when I take their kids, I get stuck paying for the outing so their free babysitting costs me money. Our school doesn't have classroom volunteers. Will not allow it. There is a strong expectation that SAHM's help out with child care and other stuff because they are home and people think we are bored. I have plenty to do.[/quote] [b]Whatever happened to it takes a village? [/b]Sad selfish existence PP.[/quote] Really? [b]I’m also a sahm and sick of providing free childcare. [/b]I could use the money — and find it ironic that if I ask a fellow parent’s nanny to watch or pick up my kid I have to pay.[/quote] It's funny that the same people who whine about the "Village" are the first to mock SAHMs if they ever dare not comply with every demand - free babysitting, volunteering, rides - all unreciprocated - of, course! the list goes on. The entitlement is bizarre - no wonder SAHMs are staying far far away from you. PPs, if you don't have a village it's because you burned it down. [/quote]
