How do you know?
And you didnt address my other statements. Even if Oprah said such a thing, how would she possibly know *anything* about how much work being a sah is or isnt??? She has NO clue.

My Dad once told us that the toughest job in the world is the one you wouldn't do, no matter what they paid you.
So I guess, for some, it would be working at Hallmark. ;)

that made me lol even thou it wasn't funny...thanks for adding salt to a still open wound there karen. alot.
I know several Moms with velcro babies; none of them has problems getting housework done while holding the baby. Heck, I've done it myself while covering for my ex's provider the year his youngest was kicked out of vacation bible school (the provider worked i the kitchen and the baby didn't like the nursery *at all*). So I'd get home from work, go to their house and care for their daughter til about 2pm when my ex got off work. I had no problems running a vacuum, washing dishes or even mopping the kitchen floor after a glass of milk fell. I just popped her into the front pack and got to work.
Did the same thing with my son when he was an infant, although he wasn't a velcro baby; I just liked holding him. But it still didn't prevent my doing housework. Ever. Isn't that why they MAKE front packs and slings and the like?
