Why does some people think women at home

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?

Just because one is home all day does not mean that one is bored. And just because one *works* all day for pay does not mean that he/she is not bored. For crying out loud.
And most of the people *I* know couldn't care less about the "cocktail party circuit" and whether or not uppity people like you care whether or not we are "interesting."
Whatever.
Now that we have become parents the children come first. Quality time, a great deal of it, spent with them every day, every minute that is entirely possible. Working with them on educational opportunities, taking them places, sitting in the pool or sand and dirt just playing for hours.
I do socialize. One of the luxuries of being a house wife. The little extras in life.
I have interests, hobbies that I pursue. The main one obvious by my name is cooking. I love to try new dishes, new ideas, new recipes. I'm fully addicted to the FoodNetwork. Although I don't cook every meal, I do prepare a great deal.
My DH & I made these decisions for our life and for our parenting and we made them as one team.

Aerobics? That was your mistake sweetie. Aerobics went out with Olivia Newton John. Pilates, Yoga, maybe, but please, don't try to BS me, it's not working.
Cosmetic surgery is interesting to read about or watch on tv? If you were in the social strata you pretend to be in, you'd have a lot more to say about it than that. What committees do you chair? What fundraising events? Can't wait.
Now really, I am going to bed, Good night and better luck next time.
