[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it rude to say I didn't want to be a SAHP because I wanted my kids to be raise in a stimulating environment instead of[b] spending their days watching tv and running errands to Costco. [/b]

You're just talking about how YOU would be as a SAHP, not how all or most SAHPs are. Maybe your best if you were to SAH would be to turn on TV and take kids to Costco but that certainly doesn't describe the SAHPs I know.[/quote]

No, if I were SAHP, I’d be at museums and parks and hiking. BUT I Don’t need to stay at home to do that. I have a very flexible schedule and I get home at four and we go to the park and we hike and we go to the museums and we go to the zoo.

I’m talking about all the moms in  my book club who were like oh my God I ran so many errands this week. I had to go to Costco three times and then I went to Michael’s and I had to go to three stores before I found the correct fall pillows that I love.[/quote]

So… do you just never run errands?  You don’t have to grocery shop or get the oil changed?  You never mow the lawn or do the laundry, either, or scrub the floors, because you’re too busy “working” or taking Larlo to the yoga retreat in the mountains?  Do fairies, birds, and mice keep your home running?[/quote]

No actually I don't do any of those things besides laundry. We have lawn service and a cleaning service, DH does the car maintenance which is infrequent. We optimize so our non-work time is really kid time not random errands etc.[/quote]
