[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone contributes to society, what's the difference between raising your children, caring for your parents and managing your household vs doing it for money as an employee?[/quote]

For me it’s because once kids were in school there was not much “raising kids/caring for parents/managing household “ to do. [/quote]

I’m always surprised when people say this.  I don’t think that my day to day changed that much when my youngest went to school.  I just didn’t have my little buddy with me anymore.

I guess I don’t go to the zoo as much, but it’s not like I was spending hours a day playing CandyLand with a four year old before he went to school.  [/quote]

I guess you are proving my point. There wasn’t a whole lot of raising kids/taking care of parents/managing household” even when the kids were home.

Kids are pretty independent and I’m not sitting playing candy land all day. My house doesn’t need much managing and my parents needed help sporadically.

So yea I didn’t find there was much to do all day[/quote]

I think I may be saying the opposite.  There was a lot of that stuff to do, but my four year old just came with me.  It wasn’t that different when he went to school.  I’m just not talking constantly.

Like what?  Sounds like you have all kinds of household chores and what not and you were just bringing the four year old along.[/quote]

I don’t know.  Don’t you always just feel like there is stuff to do?  Even if it isn’t errands or chores.

Honestly, WAH several days a week has been a game changer for us but also Amazon and Instacart. I very rarely run errands. I feel so lucky when I remember my mom running out on a Tuesday to get socks or something. I’m definitely more of a planner so things are rarely emergencies and we can do leisurely trips to the mall but even still Amazon and Instacart have saved me several times.[/quote]
