So, this is technically true.  But when a SAHP [b](someone responsible for child care during the hours a partner/spouse is at work[/b]) is looking for extra income, but ISN'T looking to "go back to work", it means he or she is looking for the type of work you can fit in around the baby's nap, the toddler's playgroup, or the preschooler's nursery school hours; or evenings, weekends when their partner can tap in... but be able to drop if their partner is on travel that week.  It's a kind of flexibility that most jobs just don't have, which is why it is a lot different from just saying "I want to go back to work part time" (which usually implies you will be looking for some kind of part time child care."

OP, the simplest way to earn some extra money as a SAHP is to provide occasional child care for a child your own child's age.[/quote]

You made up that definition. Being a SAHM has nothing to do with your partner working. A single parent could be a SAHM if they had money.[/quote]

OK, well sure. If you are financially independent and you are the one providing child care for your child during the day, fine, you are a SAHP.

OP however very specifically said in her original post, "I'm a Stay at home Mom, my husband works a demanding job, we want me to continue to be the SAHM, but I want to earn some extra money."   She did not say "I want to go back to work." [b]  It's pretty clear she is looking for the type of work that you can fit in around being the primary caretaker of a small child or children[/b].  [/quote]
Yes I agree but she wouldn’t be a SAHM anymore.[/quote]

OK, Got it.  So she wants to be the "Primary Caretaker of the Children During their Waking Hours".   Let's call that a PCC-DWH instead of SAHP.

Happy?[/quote]
