[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If raising kids is not a full time job then what are you paying daycare workers and nanny’s to do?

It’s a full time job when they’re home with you full time. When they’re in daycare or school for 6-8 hours then SAHP have a lot of time they’re not parenting. I don’t have hate for them, but it is a different job than being a sahp to kids who are home all day long.[/quote]

It’s still a job and a lot of work to take care of the house, their meals, and be there for all of the the things; that you cannot do with a full time job.  There is no full time job that allows you to come in at 9, leave by 2:30, have various Fridays and half days off, 2 weeks over Christmas, a week for spring break, the whole summer off, etc.  She chooses to be there for the times her kids aren’t in school over having a traditional job.  That is the point of her post- which should not be offensive at all to you.  [/quote]

But the point is she is saying it is better to worry less about career and money and worry more about being with your kids- from her position as the wife of someone who makes at least a million dollars a year. Like of course it’s the best decision from where she is standing. Reposting a blanket statement like that on insta , being like “you guys. Money isn’t important! Just be there for your kids!” from her multi million dollar home is just stupid. [/quote]

No, she is saying it’s more important to HER to be home and present.  There are plenty of women with husbands making 7 figures that chose to work full time because their career is important to them. More women chose to work outside of the home than not, even when their hunbands make enough for them not to need to work. [/quote]
