[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a stay at home parent and I get up around 6:00 to get my teenagers up for their 6:45 bus. I go downstairs and make lunches for the kids and my husband if he requests it. If anyone wants breakfast, they can grab a cereal bar. Nobody wants cooked food that early in the morning. At 7:00 I wake up my youngest child for his 8:00 bus. I then take a shower while he watches TV and eats his cereal bar.

Once the last kid is out the door, I probably spend [b]1-2 hours online reading the news and assorted social websites[/b]. I frequently make myself daily to-do lists as a reminder to not spend all day on the computer (which sometimes happens if I'm feeling down). The list includes domestic chores and errands. If I get half the list done I feel pretty good about myself. Kids start coming home around 2:30 which is when I need to perform air traffic control to keep them from killing each other. Some days I have a hot dinner ready for everyone by the time husband comes home. Other days, kids have short order items (grilled cheese or scrambled eggs) and husband has to fix his own meal when he comes home. It really depends on how the day rolls. I almost always do the dishes at the end of the day.

That is a significant amount of time. If your effective working time is from 8 - 2:30 that is 6 hours - 2 = 4 hours or 2/6 = 1/3 of the time.[/quote]

Wait, you 'stay home' with school age / teenagers and can't even be bothered to cook them meals?[/quote]
You are incorrect. I cook and prepare all of their meals. It's just not always an organized "main dish" involving a large hunk of meat and hours of roasting/simmering. Sometimes I do cook a big dish, other times I cook quick meals to order. One kid wants grilled cheese, another wants an omelette, etc. and they each get what they want. I'd say about half the time there's a big meal, and the other half it's short order style. My poor DH sometimes gets the short end if he comes home and has to quick prep his own meal. There's always some sort of protein around that can be used to make a quick hot meal.[/quote]
