[quote=Anonymous]I would give a different answer if the SAHM has babies / toddlers at home all day vs kids are school age. If kids aren't home during the day then I would expect SAHP to do everything that can be done during the day. Obviously things like driving kids to activities and bedtime can't be done during the day. Since the sahp is absolving themselves of all financial responsibility for their family and handing all responsbility for all aspects of life that require money (housing, food, activities, clothes, vacations, savings, cars etc etc) to the working person, I think they need to also take on a high level of responsibility themselves. I would expect a working parent to come home to a clean house, errands done, meals prepared but to help out in the evenings with activities or homework or bedtime etc to stay engaged with their kids. I also think both parents should have equal amounts of no responsbility time during the week to do as they please. So if a SAHP goes to they gym or to breakfast with friends etc during the day then the working parent should have equal amounts of time to do similar things in the evenings or on weekends. [/quote]
