[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe most working mom's wish they were SAHM. I think they are usually jealous.[/quote]

I think the reverse.[/quote]

Wouldn't they get a job if that was the case?[/quote]

No, because they've rendered themselves irrelevant and convince themselves that their kids benefit from their laziness. What's more hypocritical than the SAHM of a daughter who pushes her kid to excel academically?[/quote]

SAHMs are lazy, but spending your day sitting at a computer trolling dcum takes lots of energy?

I am a SAHM with 3 kids in school all day. It's 11:30am in my area. So far, I have made my kids breakfast, packed their lunch and taken them to school. I spent about 45 minutes volunteering in my son's class. I went for a jog, did 2 loads of laundry, and a load of dishes. then I paid the bills. Dinner is in the crock-pot.  Getting ready to shower and then heading to a meeting for a volunteer committee that I chair. Then I will pick up my kids, as well as the neighbor kids since I will baby sit them until their mom gets home from work. With all that done, our evening will run smoothly. I will have no problem finding time to take my daughter to the library to do some research for a school project. Then I will enjoy reading with my son. After that, I will enjoy a glass of wine and Netflix with DH.

Enjoy your stressful, frantic evening with your family, PP. [/quote]

Not the PP you were referring to, but I have a flexible, work from home (about 60-75% of the time job).  I can use breaks to run to the gym, start a load of laundry, etc.  Not having a long commute means I can get dinners started by 5:30ish.  And I have flexible hours, so I can also volunteer and chaperone kid stuff. Since we both work full time, DH is great about pitching in on cooking dinners, driving kids around, etc.  And with two incomes, we can afford a maid service, so yay no weekend cleaning for us.  If you have a spouse who pitches in and enough disposable income to outsource a few things, then being a dual income household does not have to equal stressful frantic evenings.  I love that I can get everything you listed (pack lunches, work out, do laundry, volunteer, etc.) and work a full time job, although it does require a bit of planning ahead of time.  To each their own! [/quote]
