[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you took out the housewife part and I just had 14 hours a day with my toddler and baby?  Absolutely!  I would love it. [/quote]

What is the housewife part? [/quote]

She meant the housekeeping part.  You know the stuff that adults (and often teens too) have to do to keep the household running smoothly?

There are several full time jobs in an adult life -

1) Taking care of and raising your kids
2) Running the household
3) Working outside the home for pay
4) Being a full time student.

Sometimes we are doing all of the above because of our circumstances.  Of course then we also have to prioritize what we should devote more time to because all of the work needs to be done and we don't have endless time or energy. Sometimes we are doing work that we are not particularly good at or enjoy but we still need to do it.  Can you rank the above tasks in what is most important?   Being a student or working outside for pay are the two jobs you cannot outsource, but you can suck at it big time because you don't have more time to do it well. Running the house and raising kids can be outsourced to some extent. Raising kids is a crucial task that is a one shot thing in your life. You don't get the chance to redo it. [/quote]
