[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If raising kids is not a full time job then what are you paying daycare workers and nanny’s to do?

It’s a full time job when they’re home with you full time. When they’re in daycare or school for 6-8 hours then SAHP have a lot of time they’re not parenting. I don’t have hate for them, but it is a different job than being a sahp to kids who are home all day long.[/quote]

It’s still a job and a lot of work to take care of the house, their meals, and be there for all of the the things; that you cannot do with a full time job.  There is no full time job that allows you to come in at 9, leave by 2:30, have various Fridays and half days off, 2 weeks over Christmas, a week for spring break, the whole summer off, etc.  She chooses to be there for the times her kids aren’t in school over having a traditional job.  That is the point of her post- which should not be offensive at all to you.  [/quote]

Whose kids are in school from 9-2:30?

My kids leave the house to get on the bus at 7:30 and walk in at 4 pm. That's 8.5 hours. I work from home in a full-time job, and I absolutely work later than 4 pm most days (they will come home and get a snack and do homework) and a few days my husband takes them to sports so I work later.

I'm incredibly lucky to have that set up and I know it's not the norm, but it's not impossible. My husband is the same, btw. [/quote]
