[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yard work, wash the cars, will help with other things sometimes, but I do all the shopping, laundry (he will sometimes fold), cleaning.  He is doing the homeschooling [b]so I can sleep later[/b] so I'm good with doing all the rest as I hate that more than scrubbing our toilet.  Mine is working a lot.[/quote]
[b]
Maybe it's just one poster over and over again, but I swear the number of times I have heard a SAHM say her husband does the morning or whatever so she can sleep in really perpetuates the stereotype of SAHMs being lazy.[/b][/quote]

Not PP and not even sure if I’ve mentioned it on DCUM but my dh does this for me anywhere from once to 3x a week  because I do 100% of night wake ups and can count on two hands the nights of full and uninterrupted sleep I’ve had in 4 years. So yeah, if he’s working from home (which was occasional before COVID-19 and constant now) and I can barely function he sticks the kids in front of the tv with some Cheerios while he works in the kitchen and I get another hour of sleep so I can push through the day. I can’t speak for everyone else but my assumption is that in the majority of cases it’s because SAHM didn’t sleep at night—not because she’s lazy. [/quote]
