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 [b]keeping your workspace tidy. How is this not a reasonable expectation in your own home? [/b] 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]

That’s a dumb argument. A) we have janitors at the office who vacuum and dust and take out the trash, B) my office is nice and big but it’s not 2-3000 square feet! When our cleaning lady comes it takes her 6 hours of non stop work. I couldn’t do that with a small kid underfoot, let alone 2. It would be 6 hours on top of FT childcare. Good luck hiring a nanny to take care of your kids from 7 AM to 7 PM, cook all meals, AND clean the house. I’ve hired a lot of people to help and the vast majority wanted 40 hours, would at most empty the dishwasher.[/quote]
