Whoever is doing the childcare IS working.

It's not the same, and it's not as valuable as earning money when finances are tight. Child care is menial labor that is easily outsourced. And it's not "working" when it's your own children -- it's fulfilling your responsibilities. "Work" is generally understood to mean income-producing labor.[/quote]

"Child care is menial labor that is easily outsourced."

This takes the cake for most ignorant statement of the week on DCUM. This mentality is why most kids are in trouble by high school. Drugs, alcohol, sex, habitual lying, etc.

The kids are NOT alright, you fool.[/quote]

You DO understand that your dh couldn't support a sahm if his job were childcare for a salary or pay, right?  Childcare is important work, but it IS menial labor, and so one parent needs to have a job that pays enough that the other can stay home and do this task rather than outsourcing it. [/quote]
