[quote=Anonymous]I volunteer 2x a week for 3hrs each for each child's school
I volunteer at Make a Wish Foundation once a week 
I am my daughter's softball coach
I am my other daughter's Girl Scout troop leader
Treasurer of our swim club
Secretary for the public school PTA
Teacher's Appreciation for the private school. 
Do all the taxes/money management  for us and our company
One child goes to private so I drive her to and from. 
I do everything most people pay services to get done.  I don't outsource for lawn case, housekeeping, dry-cleaning etc...  I do all the shopping, cooking, laundry, gardening, cleaning so there is nothing to do on the weekends.

When the kids get home, they have snacks and do homework.  I help with any projects with the younger one.  We always have lots of neighborhood kids over our house which is fun.  I take to/from afternoon activities.  I like being there to watch.  Usually have a meeting 2x a week in the evening for something and in Fall and Spring, I coach twice a week on the evenings and have games on the weekends.

But for the most part, my husband can come home and relax.  Our evenings are fun. We usually play board games or go to the park or play bocce outback.   The youngest is in bed by 7:30pm and oldest by 9pm.  I usually cut coupons, watch tv with husband.  Twice a month I go out with friends.  We have date nights every other Friday.

I know it seems lame but it works for us.  We own a business and my husband works odd hours, travels a lot and when I worked too, it was very stressful for all of us. Trying to figure out how to take the kids to school, get them to activities, who would watch my younger one when I coached.  We don't have any family in the area.

Some people are better working and some aren't.  I enjoy staying at home and being the one who takes care of the home.  I was never one to outsource.  I don't judge others and don't care if they judge me.  [/quote]
