I thought it was fabulous and amazing to be a WOHM, and SAHMs were a waste of space!!

I thought - SAHMs provided zero value when - house was clean, laundry done, meals cooked, grocery bought, cars serviced, house organized, bills paid, drycleaning picked, social engagements met, entertaining done,  kids school and ECs nailed, eldercare sorted, petcare done, yardwork sorted, [b]haircuts scheduled[/b], wellness checkups done, dental  and eye exams done,  home remodeling/improvement  thoughtfully done.

Oh dear! What happened?? Why has life become so shitty???[/quote]

Wow, scrapping the barrel there. [/quote]

lol that one and “paying bills”. Sahm always list this as an important task and really how long does this take?[/quote]

Regards paying bills -
Monitoring for overcharges. Disputing Healthcare refusal to reimburse or false billings. And oh yeah, getting the old car off the insurance and getting the new one on - this last one i found out spouse had forgotten because HE was in charge of that and we were paying for several car insurances. That's what happens if someone is not on top of this.
Kids mobile phone renewals, parking thei number be ause they are studying in the UK. Trying to pay UK tuition because they dont ever contact you only the kid.
Checking performance of retirement accounts and moving funds per FED omens. Summer camp deposits, contractual forms, tracking number of music lessons and to keep the payments going because the teacher can be a bit squirrelly. Plumber servi e payments, making g sure they actually did the work....
If no one is on top of any of this, you can get fleeced easily.

I speak as a former SAHM. It i love working, it is so much easier on some levels. [/quote]
