Nope, try again.[/quote]

Haha, proved my point! I was a teacher -- it was easy. teachers reuse their material from year to year and most just scan over the homework.
But SAHM: up at 6AM, childcare, cooking, cleaning, repairing house, car maintenance, insurance, bills, landscape, more cooking, the grocery store, driving, more childcare, bathing, feeding, entertaining, listening to the endless drama, dinner, after school activities, more driving, doctor's appointments, ER visits, school paperwork, homework, more cleaning ...more laundry, dishes, more cooking and down at 11:30PM for that last load ...
And all this time people think you are just chillin'[/quote]

Teachers who are also parents also get up early, cook, clean, repair their houses, maintain their cars, deal with insurance, pay bill, landscape, go to the grocery store, give children baths, take their kids to the ER, fill in school paperwork . . . and then after they put the kids to bed they start grading and creating lesson plans.

I would agree 100% that being a SAHM is usually harder than being a teacher with no kids.  But I think that barring special needs kids or very specific circumstances (e.g. a SAH spouse), teaching full time and parenting kids, is as hard or harder than SAH with the same combination of kids.

Teachers and nurse make up the largest group of women who elect child free living. Without kids, teaching is an easy job.[/quote]
