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?

Its really not always that cut and dried. Sometimes there just isnt a bottom line.

So yeah, some SAHMs do have it pretty cushy (obviously, others don't). I wouldn't if I SAH and I'm not saying you do. But please don't tell me taking the kids to the zoo is exhausting like mental or physical labor - boring, maybe, important, definitely, but not HARD!!

My family has never tasted jarred sauce in their lives, but I really don't think it would kill them if they did. I like to cook as a hobby, but in all honesty, with the great quality markets selling prepared meals, a family can eat just as well (albeit more expensively) if mom doesn't have the time or inclination to cook.

And I certainly didn't leave him any housework to finish up when he got home. I managed to drag my butt off the beach chair early enough to get everything done so that he wouldn't have to do it after "family time" at 11:00 at night or on his weekends off.

I can tell you one thing, since I'll be home all summer (ONE more day!!!), you can bet my husband won't have to lift a finger. I know that I'm going to have a much easier summer than he is, and I'm not the ungrateful type.
