[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have a dog in this fight but the oversimplification of a SAH parents roles is astonishing. they often take on school related volunteer roles, they handle all doctors, dentist, eye appointments, care for sick children, manage household appointments, deal with emergency household issues- and here is the kicker-;[b] they do this largely so that the other parent can be totally dedicated to their career in a way that would not be possible otherwise[/b]. They also may take on this role because it’s better for the family not to live life at 1000 miles an hour.

It’s not necessary to vilify people who take on those roles.  [/quote]

No, they do it largely because they enjoy it and it works for them.  Letting the other person dedicate themselves to their career is an outcome of this, not a key driver.  No one is that altruistic.  It's usually because a workplace is not rewarding or satisfying, or that it all got too much and they can afford for her to stay at home.[/quote]
