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?

No, housework *alone* does not equal a fulltime job. Housework, childcare, yardwork, financial and household management, errand running, chauffering kids, YES that can be a fulltime job. Not paying, but still fulltime. If you didnt do a good job of it, thats your own shortcoming.

So basically, whoever makes the money and works the hardest physically is *better*? Is that it?

I'm debating Cyndi's assertion that a sahp is unequal to a working parent, that a sahp doesnt contribute equally to the household, that a sahp is somehow *less*.
If it was less for YOU, great. It wasnt for ME. But then I am an extremely busy and organized person who doesnt find it difficult to accomplish a lot in a day....

I also worked part-time. I don't see how anyone can imply that, given 2 parents, same number of kids and 1 full-time job, vs. same family with 2 full-time jobs, that it isn't going to be easier when one person is home. It's mathematically impossible for it not to be easier. There are only x number of hours in a day, and when you remove 8-10 hours of available time each day to get things done, without removing the tasks that need to be done, someone is going to be playing catch up somewhere. Forget how anybody feels, it's just math, and math doesn't lie.
I love to cook, I love to bake. And I know what your talking back exactly on the size of your house.
I'm anal about the presence of our home and the high standards of cleaning. My husband is also, I said we were a match made in heaven as we think exactly alike. I'm so particular if anything is out of place I'd probably not let anyone in the house until it is in its rightful place. I'm too particular at times, I know.
