[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But seriously, OP, what do you do all day? Do you have some sort of hobby or volunteer gig that takes up your time?[/quote]

I’m a PP and I’ll repeat what I wrote above. Why is that anyone’s business how she chooses to spend her days?[/quote]

Not PP but because I wonder what it’s like to not positively contribute to society one bit. [/quote]

I know some SAHPs who contribute quite a bit actually (and some who don’t, as wel). The president of my kids’ little league is a SAH dad...he also coaches nearly year round, and is on the board of a local kids’ golf nonprofit too. He is a CPA..they had kids at an older age and he had a long career before this. His wife owns a very successful business (and he does a bit of work for their business- taxes etc). I think Ben is contributing more to society this way, than he would be sitting and no doing people’s taxes all day!! And his wife loves it- she never wanted to SAH and this was their arrangement from day one..

I also know a ton of SAHM who volunteer a lot- yes at school (and they put in a ton of time- I wouldn’t want to) and other nonprofits.

I also know some SAHM who exercise and lunch all day...

It’s a mixed bag. But, I wouldn’t say that SAHP don’t contribute to society. Depends on the person. There are so many jobs that don’t contribute to society either- they are just a paycheck and a way to pay the bills..[/quote]
