Why does some people think women at home
| Sat, 06-07-2003 - 1:02am |
should do it all? I hear this and think why should a woman at home do every thing? Shouldn't it be whatever works? Shouldn't it be whatever floats the boat of the married couple? Confused on this thinking.
If you are home do you do it all? How does your DH or SO feel?
WOH do you do it all or do you split it? Do you do more or less since you WOH?

But I do understand that some people just dont do well with making use of their time. Sometimes its better to fill your days with work.

I was not the only mom at the park on week days nor was I the only mom to attend moms group meetings on a weekly basis. The fact of the matter is SAHMs spend a lot of time on activities that don't involve work. According to one time study, SAHM's spend more time pursuing hobbies, nurturing friendships and sleeping in addition to more time doing houseork than WM's. Sorry, but you're not going to convince me that SAH is equivalent to being a WP. Not in this lifetime anyway.
We dont watch tv during the day here either.

No, childcare in itself isnt *necessarily* labor intensive. But like I said, it CAN be emotionally draining, esp. when every task or errand is accompanied by children. BUT...you cannot claim a desk job as *labor intensive* either. Mentally draining, sure. But thats the six of one and half dozen of the other.
It isnt rocket science, you are right. So why arent ya getting it???
