[quote=Anonymous]I think one reason WOHM's might think SAH is mindless and boring is because they relate it too much to their maternity leave. Maternity leave is temporary, and you have a baby. You don't get yourself involved in the kinds of things in three or fours months that a SAHM will.

I SAH and run my DD's girl scout troop, tutor a middle schooler once a week while my youngest is in preschool, teach Sunday school, have my kids in a co-op preschool and serve on the board, volunteer several times a month at my DD's public school etc.... Not to mention having a large and varied group of friends I spend time with while doing these things. Yes, some of my day is tedious, such as when I'm disciplining my four year old, but my old desk job had plenty of tedium as well.

I am not AT ALL suggesting that SAH is the right way to parent or that women must do it if they want to be good parents. This is just to say that some people imagine they know what being a SAH parent is like when they don't really necessarily know what it can be. It is much different that being trapped in the house with a newborn for their first three months of life.
