[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I pay for excellent childcare and have the flexibility to stay home, no problem whatsoever, if needed for snow days when the center would be closed.

So no, I don't use my SAHM neighbors/friends for favors. In fact, I as a WOHM have done more favors for them than they ever have for me. That's fine; I have a good home/work/childcare scenario, I have a few local family members. I'm lucky, and I also don't like to ask for favors generally.

I just dislike the myth that WOHMs are constantly bugging SAHMs. And by the way, I volunteer for PTA stuff/give to PTA stuff all the time. So you can't ding me on that count, either.

I am also WOHM and I feel the same way. I try not to think about the fact that some have school aged kids and household help and yet I'm STILL the one shuttling their kids around, because really why they made those decisions are about their family, but I do find myself feeling like "uh you SAH and have a much more flexible schedule than me but I'm the one shuttling your kids AND my kisd back and forth for playdates?"[/quote]
