[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are overestimating how easy it is to find a sitter for a weekday lunch.  If the mom stays home, I’d say she and child are a package deal until the child starts preschool and the mom can meet for coffee.  [b]Most SAHMs don’t want to pay a sitter to meet a friend for lunch. [/b] If mom works, obviously the child is in daycare or has another caregiver.  If lunch is on the weekend, then mom goes solo while dad watches the child.[/quote]
That's your choice then. My choice is to spend time with you when you actually GAF about spending time with me. So, kind of goes both ways. [/quote]

Meh.  Would you demand a friend use annual leave to meet you for lunch?  A SAHM’s job is to care for her child during the work day.  If you are rigid enough to demand a SAHM’s undivided attention during a midweek lunch and are unavailable on evenings or weekends (when the father could watch the child), then yeah, the friendship is over.

Oh, so you don't eat lunch during the workday? That's funny. I do. And sometimes I do it with friends. [/quote]

Of course I do, but I do it while watching my children.[/quote]

Sigh. Then the question wasn't for you. The PP discussed "demanding" a friend use annual leave to meet her for lunch. Those of us who work also, shockingly, eat lunch. So I don't take leave in order to dine with friends. It's not rocket science. [/quote]

Sure, but how long is your lunch break?  Mine is 30 minutes, which isn’t really long enough to walk to even a fast-casual place downtown, order, eat, and return to work.  If the friend wanted longer than that, or to meet at a sit-down restaurant, I’d have to take annual leave.[/quote]
Not everyone works at target and has to clock back in after 30m. [/quote]

Even in most office jobs, lunch is only an hour. That’s hardly enough time to have a leisurely lunch with friends. [/quote]
An hour is plenty, no one said it has to be “leisurely”. Stop trying to move the goal posts.[/quote]

Found the Target/fast food employee![/quote]

What a nasty thing to type. I can't imagine having such a vile spirit that you think it's a flex to look down on and mock retail and fast food workers.[/quote]
