[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I SAH in large part because of the crazy hours my DH works. Any meeting I have to attend in the evening requires hiring a sitter, which I prefer not to pay for and also, given that my children rarely have their dad home in the evening, I don't want them to have many evenings where there are put to bed by a paid caregiver. [b]I did have these kids because I wanted to raise them[/b].

When there are evening events, I do my best to make it work and attend, but much prefer the meetings to be during the daytime. When I am in charge, I schedule things right after drop off, as I've found that many working parents are able to attend something from 815-845 or 9am and then shoot downtown (we are a city school) a bit later in the morning than usual. So I always pick this time instead of that 10am post workout time that the rich SAHMs like or the 1:30/2pm pre carpool meeting time.[/quote]

I'm sorry but the bolded part is extremely rude and I'm tired of the whole "working parents don't raise their kids schtick".  How often do PTA meetings happen? Once a month at MOST.  Hiring a sitter to put your kids to bed once a month does not = raising them  :roll: [/quote]

Well by PP’s own definition, her husband isn’t raising his kids either. [/quote]
