[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There's no reason a SAHP shouldn't get a job while the kids are in school. [/b]

Clueless people say this.  School is not even 8 hours long.  Its six. Aftercare is hard to get into, expensive, and low quality, as are summer camps..  Also, sick days and holidays exceed pto.  So show me these miracle jobs that magically align with school schedules?  Also every weekend will be spent as a family cleaning and grocery shopping while eating takeout most nights.

FWIW I do work, because I actually do have one of these unicorn jobs where I wfh part time for very good pay in a technical/specialized field.  Took me 10 years and an Ivy masters to get it.  I have no illusions about how easy they are to find.  And because of that I have to outsource some cleaning and childcare.  There’s no shortcuts for the work to get done in a home if you have kids.

Well, I did with a part-time job as an architect. Some days the kids had aftercare sponsored by the school. My kids also quite enjoyed their summer camps.
As for sick days, well, I just didn't get paid. My employer understood I was a parent when I was hired. Part of the bargain was that I didn't need health insurance or any other benefits.
No, I'm not a superstar principal of a firm but that isn't my priority.[/quote]

You don't need a unicorn job. Stop making excuses. [/quote]
