But you could do 100% of all of this on your lunch hour, after work or on weekends. The hard truth is you like having a lot of leisure time.[/quote]
The hard truth is that moms like you have resigned themselves to being the default parent and accept sexism within your family while shaming moms who work PT or SAH for refusing to accept the second shift.

How many of us would choose to work if finances, our partners, children, extended family and/or situation truly gave us the choice?  Not saying there aren't those who would.  But always these mommy wars are soaked in jealousy and spite.[/quote]

I truly have a choice, yet I work 45 hours a week, plus commute, and do 90% of everything at home. I also exercise 5-7 hours a week. [b]You just need to be organized and efficient[/b].[/quote]

You still don't get it. You are saying that MOMS need to be organized and efficient, spending lunch hours researching and signing up for camps, making orthodontist appointments, arranging carpools for baseball games, while DH....goes out for lunch with his buddies (aka, "networking") or eats his lunch from home at his computer desk reading ESPN.com . What about this seems equitable and fair to you? Even if you enjoy this stuff, which I do, I resent the fact that I have to do it because if I don't then no one else will (at least not in a timely fashion). And yes, there are repercussions if we don't sign up for this sort of stuff on time. We cannot afford to deal with the consequences of having no camp options because DH waited until the last minute.
