[quote=Anonymous]Being a SAHP of school aged kids is leisurely, yes. I just went back to work PT last year (once my youngest started HS). That said, it really benefits the working spouse also. We have 3 kids and my DH has never once had to pick up a sick kid, leave early to pick up a kid, wait for a repair guy, or deal with basically any scheduling issues whatsoever. Basically ever. Because I was always taking care of it. Also, I did (and still do) almost all of the cooking during the week, cleaning etc myself. We could afford to hire some of that out but do not (just never felt the need). We do have a landscaper. For us (both of us) it worked well, and he was never resentful. Yes I had several free hours every day, but he got plenty of free time also. Basically, me being at home gave us BOTH a lot more free time than we would’ve had otherwise. [/quote]
