[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think folks have lost sight if the original question which was what SAHP of school age kids actually do.  My answer is that while kids are in school, I deal with groceries, laundry, house maintenance, workout, school volunteering, finances and taking care of my elderly mom (and her house, finances, etc).   It's less stress than when i worked (which is why i quit) but just as busy (and certainly more active than my former desk job).  Then, for the hours my kids are at home (I have 3 - oldest is 7) it is much more hectic and exhausting than my former job.  And btw, they are out of school 13-14 wks a year w/vacations.

I certainly don't expect sympathy or for working moms to say that my life is as stressful as theirs (bc its like not as stressful) etc.  But I certainly don't expect attitude or judement either![/quote]

This doesn't shed any light really on why you quit, other than it's less stressful for you.  Since my husband does half of the laundry, grocery shopping, cooking, house maintenance, etc., both of us can work full time. The taking care of your mom thing is the difference, if she needs a lot fo care.  How did you handle your kids' activities when you WOH?[/quote]
