[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thin SAHMs are awesome. I work from home (pre-COVID even) and they're a busy bunch! My totally unfair plea is that if you're a SAHM, please make sure to lean in. Women volunteers make things happen that would never otherwise happen. They are largely able to do this bc they SAH. Pick up the slack that those WOH folks can't handle. [/quote]

This feels tone deaf. So, a SAHM is supposed to fill your volunteer slots, too? Sorry,
I WOH, and very consciously pursued a path that allows me flexibility to help out at school, community events, etc. The “I’m too busy” excuse is just that -an excuse. Most schools recognize that parents work, and sign ups often have roles that can accommodate their schedules (send in a snack, help a group organize end of year party, etc). The idea that all of this happens during working hours is absurd. Quit making excuses for yourself. Things work when everyone does their part, not expecting others to pick up their slack.[/quote]
