This is a STANDARDS in the SAH repertoire. Like clicking on a link at Amazon.com is a huge part of day. Well, maybe it is?[/quote]

Well DH sure as hell isn't going to do it - even on Amazon - or wrap it - or even be aware that a gifting occasion even exists. If I worked full-time, he would not magically start handling this. So why should I do everything I do now, PLUS work, when all DH has to do is work and nothing more? Its better this way - he and I both agree, so good thing you don't need to understand it!  :wink: [/quote]

You spend 8 hours a day buying gifts online and consider it equivalent to a work day? [/quote]

Where did I say that? I'm just not willing to perform 100% of the household tasks and work full-time, while my husband does zero household tasks. I'd have to be insane to agree to that arrangement. He and I are both happy. Why does it bother you so much?[/quote]

Wait I think  we misunderstood. Do you have a card making/gift wrapping room? And wrap gifts like origami? That makes sense now, it would take as much time as household chores and childcare then. [/quote]

It's not uncommon for stay at home moms to over exaggerate their daily tasks.  If your boss was questioning you about your accomplishments, wouldn't you overstate said accomplishments?  For many stay at home moms, their gravy train depends on making up tasks.[/quote]

But why is gift giving always included??? Why not household accounting, investment planning, home repair? Make it something that is believable that would take serious time. [/quote]
