[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s a different take:

I am a SAHM and I don’t go to every school event for my 8 year old.

This is really really common and nobody bats an eye. DH loves going and I can’t imagine having any guilt about them getting to spend time together. I’m home with our baby but I don’t see how it would be any different if you’re away working. The end result is one parent at each event. Realistically every parent of more than 1 kid has to divide and conquer. It’s silly to feel guilt about this. [/quote]

That very honest of you. I’m a working mom with a flexible schedule and was able to make it pretty much every school event because I had child care for my younger kid. I always wondered how people with one big job and a SAH parent made it work since we usually couldn’t bring siblings. I assumed they had more help from local family than I did [/quote]

Not that PP… but thankfully we could usually bring the younger sibling to events at our school, so that’s what I did as a SAH. If we couldn’t bring younger kid, no parent from our family attended. We don’t/didn’t have local family nor any hired help.[/quote]
