[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM. 
--I buy whatever I want and have no qualms, don't check with DH, etc. I, however, am not a big shopper and am pretty frugal. 
--I also handle all of our savings, investments, 529 accounts, IRAs, 401k, pay the bills, etc. I track our net worth, keep on top of what's going on in the market. I majored in finance. 
--When we had a house rental, I handled finding the renters, collecting the rent, taking calls, etc.
--I take/took all three kids to dentist, doctors, orthodontist, activities during the week
--I planned all birthday parties and three Bar/Bat Mitzvot
--I handle all school-related stuff like teacher conferences, SATs, researching colleges, college applications/essays
--I do the grocery shopping, house supply shopping and cook most of our meals, many from scratch
--We split housework, mostly along traditional gender lines

I chose to be a SAHM, although I worked part-time until third child was born. I could have gone back when my youngest went to middle school, but financially, it was working out well for us and it gave us both much more flexibility.

Most SAHMs wear many hats, just because there is no W2, it doesn't mean work hours or load doesn't matter. [/quote]
