I work from home 3 weeks out of the month and in the office for 1 week.

So given we have 5 people & 2 dogs and work I 10 hr days.. I doan have time to clean more dan so (and mommy pays for that as her contribution to the household)

Re: Housewife

It's an awesome set up. I used to work from home two days a week and loved it.

This had me thinking though....I'm have a full-time job plus I do all the above.

same thing I was thinking as you.. not to mention the other work we do. I am looking into a cleaning service for us! sheesh! </div></div>

Oh man don't mention the other work. I made a comment in F&R and man my conscience bugged me. I mentioned I unfortunately stay in quite a few hotels and realizing why I'm travelling made me feel so small.

Single mom
Teenage kids
Full time job
Other job

ummm Deark please come here likklebit mek mi feel yuh farrid? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70456-eyebrows.gif[/img]


As a former stay at home mom for almost 3 years, I did NOT have the luxury of my own time, and that was only 1 child. </div></div>

What I meant was that her schedule is hers.... if she chooses not to do one of her 'duties' like dusting the china say, she may elect not to do so... often w/o consequenec. Not so when you have a boss wanting the daily report completed at 11 am.

I don't think it's unfair to say that in today's economy, being a housewife is considered a luxury..
