[quote=Anonymous]I’m the 11:08 poster and realized I forgot to even add in the kids activities like sports and swimming, many of which start at 5 pm. The world really isn’t set up for a dual income family unless you have a lot of flexibility or outsource a ton. Those options are fine, but if you don’t have them then you still need someone to handle this stuff. I don’t understand the judgment over a parent choosing to do this stuff instead of choosing to outsource. DH and I have thought about taking on higher earning roles at work, but would rather be around to take care of our kids when they’re sick, meet them at the bus stop instead of using aftercare, being available to coach sports teams, etc. So personally I would not judge a man who takes on more household stuff in lieu of working, but I find an involved husband/father to be more attractive than a man who is gone all the time trying to make partner. The reason SAHDs get judged is just weird outdated stereotyping. [/quote]
