[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand all of you people who are saying get a job, that crafting books and trips to the library are mind-numbingly boring and awful.

SOMEONE has to spend their day with a baby/child, don't they? If it isn't a parent, it's someone you're paying to do it, right? Do you think that person is mind-numbingly bored?

If you can't imagine your life having any meaning or interest without your job, you really probably shouldn't have become a parent (not talking to you, OP, talking to these other people who think the only way to be happy is to have a job while you also have kids).

And by the way, I have never been a stay at home parent, I work full time in a demanding career and bring in $200k+ annually.  But the narrow-mindedness of people who think that getting a job must be the answer is really crazy.  OP has a child and it doesn't make sense for her family for her to work.  That is pretty clear.  She can find a way to make life more interesting and fun and meaningful without getting a job and having to pretend to be superwoman, doing it all, the lion's share of the child/house work and a paying job as well.[/quote]

Not everyone is built the same. Of course a nanny does not think her job is boring. I would never be a nanny, [b]it would bore me to death[/b]. I would also never be a librarian or an accountant.

However, I don't do the lions share of the housework or childcare. My kids are in school and I have a housekeeper. Plus I have a DH who parents his kids.  Apparently an engaged father is some sort of luxury-sad.[/quote]

Why would you have kids if taking care of them during the day and after school would bore you to death?[/quote]
