[quote=Anonymous]I work FT but I know at lot of women who have became SAHMs in early elementary and their lives are very BUSY. Before I met them I would imagine that staying at home would be a life of luxury with the kids in school 6 hours a day but it doesn't seem to be that way at all. Because they have less money the mother mows the lawn, does the weeding, hires and supervises all the repairs, and does all the cleaning. She also handles all the doctor's appointments, tutors and for some of the kids like if they have allergies, speech delays it can be very time consuming. If you have messy young kids the cleaning alone can take several hours a day! This is in addition to being a chauffeur for activities, teacher for homework, and counselor to talk out all the drama as they get older. I am often exhausted just hearing about everything. It's much easier to outsource everything to a nanny/aftercare _ cleaning service/landscape person in a lot of ways![/quote]
