[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP sure being a SAHW (...is that really a thing?) is one thing, but being a SAHM is HARD. A lot harder than you think. Honestly going back to work was easier, and I have a stressful job. I had no idea what I was getting into when I decided to give it a try, and truthfully I just couldn't cut it. If you are envisioning a life of leisurely mornings and workout classes and charity events, you're completely forgetting about the INTENSE, thankless, hands-on years on the front end. Especially if you want multiple kids...[/quote]

Eh - depends on the kids. Depends on how good/bad she is at it. And these are all things that are impossible to know right now. But a good friend of mine has a SAH DH and while he obviously did ALL the grunt work when the kids were little, he is completely chilling now that the kids are 9 and 6. They're gone all day, the earliest they get home from school is 3 pm and usually even an hr or 2 later bc they want to playdates, after school activities etc. He chills all day basically playing videogames and watching sports/movies. Of course theirs is the furthest thing from a traditional marriage and I feel like a lot of the DHs of the type OP is interested in would insist on a hot meal, laundry done and put away etc. and this guy does none of those things -- as it's takeout all week unless my friend gets home early enough to cook and she's scrambling to make sure the kids have clean clothes.[/quote]
