[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The progression of this thread is funny:

OP feels entitled to free labor from SAHMs:

The SAHMs say “No I can’t... I’m busy...”

OP launches into a tirade about how the SAHMs have nothing better to do and they should be giving her a lot more unpaid volunteer work.

Lots of SAHMs say they don’t like other moms assuming that they will be back up child care, or volunteers, etc. It’s rude.  Basically, they remind OP that she’s not entitled to these women’s time. 
.

WOHM freak out and say the NEVER ask SAHMs for ANYTHING! This is a myth of epic proportions! This never happens!

I'm a WOHM.  I have never asked a SAHM for anything.  Believe me or not, I really don't care.  All the WOHMs I know are the same.[/quote]
Yup. We pay for reliable childcare. We use leave time for emergencies. We have a backup plan. We can't afford to rely on favors from anyone. 
That's pretty much the way it works for everyone I know. [/quote]

NP, and same. What's the problem with that? Isn't that the way it should be. I have plenty of WOHP friends and SAHP friends. I would gladly help any of them out in a bind. Thankfully, I've never had to go outside of my very reliable, professional child care center for kid help. [/quote]
