Not Op. I’m a SAHM who also works 5 hours per week, room parents for my kids, active in PTA, work out, etc.

OP, you don’t mention a housekeeper. We have a large house and I have a housekeeper and do very few chores around the house. My youngest only goes to preschool 2x per week though so I still keep occupied with the little one.

I will be you in 2 years when my youngest starts kindergarten. I struggle with going back to work. [b]Just the past 2 months, we went on 2 vacations, all the kids and I took turns being sick, I planned holiday parties for kids classes, hosted friends and family. I could not have done all that if I was working.[/b]

I couldn’t host play dates on snow days and teacher work days.

I would consider the $15 job though if I thought it was interesting work. We pay our nanny $25 per hour so it seems silly but I would consider it in the future. I’m Ivy League educated and have multiple degrees. I know I can offer a lot. I just don’t want to work full time and we don’t need my income.[/quote]
I work FT, and the only thing on that list I haven't done in the past two months is plan a class party. But I have planned and run a couple of events related to a volunteer activity. My point isn't to say that there is anything wrong with the choice you've made, but if you do want to go back to work you can make it work.[/quote]
