[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before I married and had kids, I thought I wanted the option to stay home.  When I actually had a baby, I knew I wasn't capable of being an SAHM.  [/quote]

I'm the total opposite! Never imagined I'd stay home but once I had my first, knew I couldn't go back. Fortunate to be able to stay at home but I absolutely DO WORK. [b]Childcare, housecare, family care is no joke. So when you ask do women really not want to work, OP, I think you may be confused about what staying at home entails.[/b][/quote]

A lot of men wouldn't last a month being a full-time stay-at-home parent.[/quote]

You realize all the rest of us still do all the house care and family care despite both working right [/quote]

Really? You take care of your kids full time while also working full time?[/quote]

Exactly. If you outsource the care of your kids, you are not, despite what you want to tell yourself, doing the “family care,” especially when the kids are young. That is a lot of work, so the idea that a woman who does that is not “working” is preposterous. [/quote]

Yes but what about all those sahms that have school aged kids so they are not doing childcare until 3:30 or 4:00 each day? I’d rather work at that time so I can be more productive and make use of my time. And like those sahms I take care of my kids when i’m home from work  by 4:00 until they go to bed.[/quote]

Even with the kids in school, full time work is just more hectic in a household. I think if a sahm wants to tone that down and stay home even if her kids are in school then that works. No worries about sick kids or random days off school either. Those have been killing me (I woh).  Really, part time would be ideal. I would love to work 9-3. [/quote]
