A study by Welch's juice company, funded by the mom lobby, confirmed my belief that being a mother is in fact the hardest job in the world.

How many truly “stay at home” moms are left that do everything?

Does that salary account for all of the time spent going to lunch with friends, playing on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Snapchat, and going to Barre Method classes to gossip with the girls?

I know when I'm looking for unbiased Scientific Data, I always look to Welch's Juice Company for their studies.

You did it in addition to your regular job, or you took off work and did it as your full time job?

They shouldn't have had kids if they are complaining about taking care of them. End of thread.

Although the SAHM life isn't nearly as hard as they want you to think it is, there is some good credibility to the idea that it's easier on the parents to have a kid in daycare all day.

You do significantly less cleaning every day when your toddlers frick up someone else's house for 9 hours a day.

based on their daily tasks, stay-at-home moms should demand a medium annual salary of $162,581.


Assuming dad does exactly zero of those tasks and just passive aggressively drinks tall boys on the back porch while ignoring his family completely:

$10/hr : Very generous for a job that requires no training that literally anyone with a vagina & an IQ above 70 can do
7 days a week
42 hours overtime / week
$61,880 / year, at best. This is 14 hrs / day with literally no days off

Yeah I think they over-estimated just a tad.

They probably felt forced by their overbearing husbands. When you think about it, it's a kind of rape.

surprised they aren't in these type of polls, some world class complainers, and don't even think about asking how hard their job is, unless you have about a half day to kill(and you will be wanting to kill yourself after about a half an hour)

Y'all act like stay-at-home moms are the only ones that complain about their jobs when this board is littered with so-called alpha males bitching about their jobs all the time.

I have to say I'm shocked to hear this. Although anytime I see them when I'm not flying they are always loaded.

Don't forget ending with lunch and drinks so they don't accidentally go into a calorie deficit that might reault in losing weight.

That would be terrible.

Most recently, I took several days off work to be a stay-at-home dad so my wife could go on a girl's trip. I have so much paid leave built up that I was happy to burn some to hang out at the house.

It was exhausting. She has it down to an art.

Our normal routine is she does all the kid stuff, grocery shopping, and cleaning the house, while I cook (just love to cook) and do the outside maintenance. So admittedly I had more on my plate than she normally does, but still, the day-to-day routine she has is really exhausting.

ETA:

Schedule slaves. Feed at this time, nap at this time, grocery shop at a certain time because he's happiest, walk dog at this time with stroller, feed again, nap again, etc.

It is just fricking endless.
