[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM mom with two school aged children and our average hours are probably about 38-42. This includes time for laundry, straightening the kids rooms, date nights and lots of driving. I have never had an issue. If you choose someone who really wants the challenge of working with kids I find they do not resent the hours especially if you are are good host mom to them.[/quote]

Why does a SAHM need an au pair?  Wow...[/quote]

I am also a SAHM with an au pair (three children under 5 y/o). I take my children to and from school, extracurricular activities, etc. I cook. I pick-up/clean. I do laundry. I handle finances. I manage the kid's (special) needs. I volunteer and the kids' schools and our church. Even with the au pair, who works 45 hours a week, I am constantly exhausted.

At the end of the day, I have one life and seeing we can afford the help, we take it. Our au pairs have always been a blessing to our home and we treat them like family. They have never had an issue with the hours but we do go above and beyond to show we appreciate them. I understand other mothers do all I do and work. That's not my life nor my business though. We do what works for marriage, our kids, and our home. [/quote]
