[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAHM, but pretty much all. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping during the day, and homework in the afternoons then we are often at games or practices until 9:30 at night. [/quote]

BS. You are not spending SIX HOURS every day cooking cleaning and laundry while kids are in school.

You certainly have leisure time in there, maybe yoga class or gym time?[/quote]

DP here.   You hit the nail on the head, pp!   :lol:

Yes, most SAHMs have a great life especially in DMV.  Usually they are in UMC or wealthy houeholds and their paychecks are not needed for a good lifestyle. They can outsource a lot of stuff and create time for leisure and opportunities for their families.

I am a SAHM with twice a week cleaning help. My DH also helps at home with cooking and anything that needs doing, though he is happy that I am able to outsource most chores and he and kids return to a smooth running and stressfree home.    A lot of my time when kids are in school, goes in research and prep to accelerate and expand my kids educational and EC  opportunities. Everything gets done with an eye towards their mental, physical and emotional  wellbeing. The research, planning and execution takes up quite a  bit of my time.

we also have a very busy social life and entertain a lot. It helps to socialize my kids so that they are surrounded by family, friends neighbors etc and they learn how to host and form connections.  Our focus is on family time and I make sure that most of the household chores and errands are  done before the kids come home.  we get  leisure time as a family.  I am not seeking solo leisure time.
