Well, what do YOU do on the weekends? SAHMs do that. Don't you have any hobbies? Do you read, work out, listen to podcasts? Do you have pets? Do you ever clean your house? Do you ever volunteer somewhere?

Is it hard for you to fill six hours on a Saturday? It's really not that much time.[/quote]

Umm on weekends I do the yard work, food shopping, cooking for the week, laundry and prepare everyone for the week ahead. I then rely in the work I did in the weekend to get me through my week of working full time and shuttling kids to sports.

I have a hard time fully comprehending how they fill their days if the sole focus is ‘supporting the house and family’. [/quote]

Ok well that honestly sounds miserable to me. I don’t want to live like that. Luckily I don’t have to.

I know that sounds obnoxious BUT you’re going to get an obnoxious answer if you ask an obnoxious question. [/quote]

NP. It sounds awful.

Why should I spend evenings and weekends doing house and yard work while he gets to have time off? 
I would be working non stop between house, kids, yard and “actual” work. I don’t want to. [/quote]

Why do you assume our husbands are like your husbands who do nothing around the house?

This is always puzzling.  A lot of the justification here is, "you should SAH because all husbands suck," when they really should read, "I SAH because *my* husband sucks, and if I didn't SAH I'd be very resentful."  Those are nto the same thing.  [/quote]

+1 Not all of us married helpless manbabies. [/quote]
