[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way I see it, SAHM is your work from 7-6, M-F (or whenever your husband is gone). During that time, feel free to act like a nanny. From 6-7, and then on the weekends, you and your husband split tasks 50/50 or agree to outsource.

The flip side of this is your husband is a (profession) during work hours, but he doesn't get to come home and put his feet up while you make him a martini. When he is home and on weekends, he splits the housework with you, or you two agree to outsource.[/quote]

+1 SAHM here. My priority is our two young kids during the hours my husband is at work. I certainly do stuff like run laundry, dishes, cook simple meals, clean up messes we make but I am not cleaning the house top to bottom. During nap I tend to relax but usually still doing something on the computer for the house. When my husband comes home at 8PM he eats leftovers from the earlier meal and then helps clean up the rest of the kitchen from. I usually will shower while he cleans and then we try and meet back up by 8:30 to relax together before going to bed.

We don't have a house cleaner and will usually spend a few hours on the weekend during nap powering through a cleaning...maybe I'll clean the bathrooms while he mows the lawn or something like that. 3 yr old will go out with dad and I'll stick the baby in a bouncer. Its totally fine. I am all about engagement but 24/7 is a little intense for everyone. [/quote]
