OP, from one stay at home mom to another, that balance sounds correct.

Managing the home is your "job" [/quote]

I have 3 kids and I totally disagree. Especially when they are very small, it is endless drudgery just doing the childcare and basics of keeping everyone alive, let alone mowing the lawn and scrubbing toilets.

Wow.  I, too, have 3 kids and disagree that when you stay home with the kids, your only job is the kids.  My DH was a SAHF for several years with our kid.  My expectation is that when I came home, the kids would have been well cared for that day, the house would be clean, laundry done and food in the kitchen.  Overall, tking care of kids while you're at home is just not that hard.  It may not be great for some people - and in that case the should go back to work and send their kids to daycare.  But to think that the only thing you do all day every day is watch kids is just ridiculous.
