[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can't manage two kids with biweekly cleaners, SAH is not for you. If its so hard, why would you even want to? Don't try to force a square peg into a round hole. [/quote]

Totally disagree. Depends on a lot of factors including how many hours the spouse works, whether he/she travels, [b]local family help[/b], whether the kids are high needs etc. I absolutely love being a SAHM but you’d better believe I had help especially when my kids were younger!

Also my staying at home had nothing to do with house cleaning. I would straighten up, but my primary role is child and pet care, school and extracurricular runs, home management, organizing and meal planning/cooking. We outsource lawn care and house cleaning and that’s fairly typical for the SAHMs I know. (Obviously is going to depend on incomes.)[/quote]

So true. My SAHM stepsister would probably answer this question as $0 and that she’s a super, so-it-all SAHM, and not mention that her mom gives her like 20 hours of free childcare a week. [/quote]
