You DO NOT play/read/engage with your child for a solid 8 hours per day.   [/quote]

[b]I absolutely do, she’s awake from 6:30-8 and only naps for two hours. [/b]

But even if I didn’t, that wouldn’t mean the next best use of my time would be housework. When she naps I exercise and read. Both my physical and intellectual health are more important than my washing a floor.  After she goes to bed my husband and I spend time together— our relationship health is much more important than my folding towels.

Our house is clean and hygienic because we have a housekeeper. My home is healthy and loving because we don’t care whether the clothes are ironed by the same person who reads to the toddler.

[b]You aren't telling the truth. [/b]

For as progressive as women are supposed to be now, listening to a bunch of women that do not hold a job outside of caring for their own child inside their own home say they incapable of doing simple adult/home owner tasks at the same time is just sad. When/If you ever worked an office job you are expected to multiple different work tasks during the day including keeping your workspace tidy. How is this not a reasonable expectation in your own home?  You are also saying that the WOHP contribute to childcare and housework when they are not working otherwise they aren't pulling their weight in the relationship?  How do the women that provide childcare in their home for others handle making sure the house and clean and tidy during the day? Isn't there some expectation that a hired nanny provide some sort of cleaning after the child?  You just seem annoying and whinny about being expected to contribute to your household besides watching your own child. [/quote]

DP.  Having been both a SAHM and a WOHP, I feel very comfortable saying you have no clue what you are talking about.

And I literally laughed out loud at the notion that all workers keep their workspaces tidy, because that’s just not true.

Also, you know many companies hire dedicated janitorial staff because their employees are not expected to scrub toilets and mop floors in addition to their assigned functions, right?[/quote]
