[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends. I only SAH for one year--I had a 2 year old and infant that year. My DH did a lot more of the "chores" than I did. If I were a SAH parent with kids in school all day, I think I would do the vast majority of stuff you mentioned, though I would think DH would still be involved in the big stuff like arranging contractors, medical issues, etc. And I'd still have a weekly cleaning lady. [/quote] I was going to say the same thing. The answer to this has depended on the ages of my kids. DH helped out a lot more when I was spending my entire day with young children who needed me constantly. Now that the kids are in school, I'm able to get so much more done than I used to. SAHM experiences differ so much - on additional outside help (some have nannies, housekeepers, twice-a-month cleaners, half day preschool etc), how many kids, what ages and it changes over time.[/quote]
