[quote=Anonymous] People who stay at home take care of all that it takes to run a household without pay. Besides childcare, which is the most important work they do, many do all the housecleaning, cooking, shopping, and lawn care. Some are taking care of disabled children or elderly parents. In addition, many use that 6-8 hours (which gets shortened when there are multiple kids on different school schedules or the parent provides transportation to and from school) to provide community service, volunteering time as helpers in schools, as Scout leaders, religious education instructors, club organizers. They do fundraising for schools and community groups. Families that choose for one parent to stay at home make a lot of sacrifices. Yes, it is a choice a family makes, but it is a choice that has benefits for society at large. (Just think, if all those stay at home parents suddenly needed after school care, what would happen to that already long waitlist for SACC? :) ) [/quote]
