[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are overestimating how easy it is to find a sitter for a weekday lunch.  If the mom stays home, I’d say she and child are a package deal until the child starts preschool and the mom can meet for coffee.  Most SAHMs don’t want to pay a sitter to meet a friend for lunch.  If mom works, obviously the child is in daycare or has another caregiver.  [b]If lunch is on the weekend, then mom goes solo while dad watches the child.[/b][/quote]

One would think so, but I stopped doing weekend lunches and brunches with a friend because she brought her toddler every single time even though her DH wasn't working.  She'd spend at least 75% of our time together engaging with her toddler and not me, so I quit.  I also had little kids at the time but because I'm not married to a useless lump I was able to go out while he parented solo. [/quote]

Same for me. It was weekend time and friend specifically brought her toddler when she didn’t have to. It became not worth the time anymore since I got so little out of it watching her engage her toddler and ignore me. She can do that on her own time.[/quote]
