[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know that you are doing all of the work of a SAHP, but I can commiserate with being exhausted.  My husband has to go into the office and so I am teleworking and managing my kids' virtual school and it is just exhausting.[/quote]

I'm not OP and I think OP is super privileged if she has cleaners come in twice a week and has kids in daycare, but hell yeah, those of us who are working from home and parenting without any outside help are in fact doing all the work of a SAHP right now plus our full-time jobs (some of us are not doing one or both of those jobs very well, but that's life in a pandemic, I guess). That said, I have a husband who is a partner and does his share of work around the house when he's at home (he works outside of the home right now, but recognizes that I'm also working during the day and can't do everything). It sounds like OP's husband doesn't recognize that fact and she needs to work that out with him, especially if he's also working from home.

And to the "bitch ho" PP, I have never had a nanny or house cleaners. I had kids in daycare before and now I have school-aged children doing virtual learning from home. So the only change in my life during the pandemic has been an extra hour and a half that I'm not commuting and no daycare/aftercare for my children. So YEAH, I'm doing everything you do plus my job. Stop with the mommy wars right now.[/quote]
