It seems that the idea that being a stay-at-home parent is a full-time job is becoming a thing of the past. A survey commissioned by Welch’s found that mothers work an average of 14 hours a day or a 98-hour workweek — the equivalent of 2.5 full-time jobs caring for their children. The survey looked at 2,000 US moms with children aged 5 to 12 and revealed that, on average, they started their duties at 6:23 a.m. and ended the day at 8:31 p.m., with only 1.7 hours of free time in between.
lmao fucking what
Wake up.
Send kids to school.
Literally nothing for the next 8 hours.
Also, here's the neat thing about kids - they grow up and they eventually take care of themselves. The older a kid gets, the less work they are. The first six years of a kids' life you basically have to do everything for them because they're stupid fuckups (ever seen a five year old insist he can pour his own juice?), but by the time they're seven they can manage most tasks, they can help with the chores, etc.
Even then those 6 years aren't really all THAT much work. Year one is basically just cleaning up their shit. Year two and three is basically making sure they don't kill themselves. Four through six is just performing basic tasks and slinging food at them.
SAHMs want to pretend that they slave away all day. LMAO bitch what, your youngest kid is like 12 years old.
Also, kids nowadays are retarded zombies being raised by tablets. They probably don't do shit like color on walls anymore because they've never seen a marker in real life.
I could accept it, if keeping a home meant actually manually doing everything. But the typical "I organise my organiser to be organised" busywork bullshit a bunch of those stay at home mega mommies do is absolute useless bullshit.
Does she garden? Does she keep her own animals? Everything home cooked, canned, preserved? Does she sew clothes, knit, crochet, make everything she can herself?
No, taking your kid to piano classes and reorganising your fridge the 5th time this month is not 2,5 real jobs.
Women in 1922: Manually beating rugs, hand-washing linens and hanging to dry, growing, harvesting, and canning because you're in the middle of the Great Depression, sewing new clothes out of sackcloth.
Women in the 2022: "'Alexa, ask Roomba to vacuum. Also, send in my curbside delivery grocery order.' God I'm so oppressed by this patriarchal hell."
