[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who stays home and doesn’t have a formal job does not want to be judged about how they spend their time (mostly leisurely). Anyone who works from home needs more than a small box to work and not go insane. When the latter is also responsible for all the money - which is stressful - they are rightfully to resent the lazy one, especially when they see sloth every day. Once the veneer comes off SAH/WFH, everyone is mad at everyone else and something has to change. [/quote]

SAH parents are spending their time mostly leisurely??? Good lord, I think we know different people. [/quote]

A lot of SAHMs don’t have kids home during the day. Protest all you want, but they’re not scrubbing floors for 6-8 hours. [/quote]

So those are the SAHMs you're talking about who spend their time "mostly leisurely?" Because most SAHMs do have kids at home during the day. And I am a SAHM with no kids during the day during the school year, and my time is certainly more leisurely than my husband but it's far from mostly leisurely. There are other options besides cleaning and leisure.

I think you only know SAHMs of a certain socialeconomic class which is skewing your perception of SAHMs. [/quote]

Most true full time SAHMs I know have kids during the day, or they have elder care responsibilities, or a situation like a special needs child who needs several therapy appointments a week. Or, sometimes, they have a circumstance where the dad is gone frequently for work (e.g., sales exec or management consultant) or has unpredictable hours where they cannot be reached (trauma surgeon) or both (military officer).
