Topic	Is being a stay-at-home mom really that hard once the kid(s) start school?

Yes, I'm sure it's hard on weekends and holidays off school, I'm not dismissing that. But what about a normal 5 day week? Is it really that much work? tbh, when kids hit a certain age, SAH moms usually go back to work. Granted, kids have lots of afterschool activities as well, which keep a SAH parent busy. Then you have housework, chores, cooking, and a myriad of small tasks. That's assuming that the SAH doesn't have an at-home business, of course. The real issue is that most work schedules don't really accommodate when the kids are home so, if one parent isn't around, you'd need to rely on grandparents, babysitters, neighbors, etc. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:882459597] in Is being a...
