SAH by itself accomplishes nothing except removing a tax payer from the work pool.

I'm not sure how to answer this. You're saying you'd get bored of your closest family members if you spent "too much" time with them (??). Am I reading that correctly?


It's a tradeoff in terms of income earned and time spent, sure. Not everyone needs or wants 11 more free hours a week, but to pretend that all WOHMs have more than enough time to smell the roses is quite disingenuous.
