[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don’t understand this need for everybody to think your time is so precious.

I’m part of a group of moms some WOH, some WAH, some SAH.

All of us help each other out … snow day, I WAH.., I pick up the kids until everybody can get home.

One SAHM refuses to be “helpful” because “we assume she is doing nothing”.

We all are doing stuff.

When we stopped including her in the “hey can you grab the kids” texts she got all pissy. The other SAH parents don’t act like this. Hey if you are “too busy” to ever help then you don’t get the benefit of everybody else helping.

I’m literally always home so I can always grab the kids. I’m working from home. My time is not some precious jewel.

This.  Being asked to do something doesn't mean that the other person doesn't think your time is worth anything or that you have hours and hours of free time.  It means they are asking you to do something.  And if you really don't have time to run any errands or make any phone calls in 8 hours, you're engaged in some insanely overly intensive parenting.  In any case, I agree with the person who said you DO have more free time, you are just choosing to spend it in certain ways and not in others.  [/quote]
