[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone contributes to society, what's the difference between raising your children, caring for your parents and managing your household vs doing it for money as an employee?[/quote]

For me it’s because once kids were in school there was not much “raising kids/caring for parents/managing household “ to do. [/quote]

I’m always surprised when people say this.  I don’t think that my day to day changed that much when my youngest went to school.  I just didn’t have my little buddy with me anymore.

I guess I don’t go to the zoo as much, but it’s not like I was spending hours a day playing CandyLand with a four year old before he went to school.  [/quote]
You don't think your day to day changed when you arent responsible for a human for most of the day? That's a huge difference to me![/quote]

I’m still ultimately responsible for all of my kids every day.  
But yeah, it isn’t that different.  
Now I go go book club on Thursday mornings on my own.  I don’t have to bring stickers.  
When I fold laundry, I listen to an audiobook instead of his little stories, and I have to match the socks myself.  
I usually make dinner on my own without my little helper.  (There’s too much going on after school to cook then.).

I mostly kind of miss him.  [/quote]

Sounds like you don’t do much of anything. [/quote]

She cooks and cleans and takes care of her children after school. That’s plenty. [/quote]
