Do you believe that being a stay at home mom is a "luxury" and not a real jobb? (Page 2)

[Astarlessnightsky]

Its both.

Its full time job and a luxury if you don't need to work another "real" job as well.

[bayoubob]

It's not a real job. It isn't. You have to go back in time. It used to be that way. Everything depends upon who wears the pants. Sometimes the man must acquiesce.

[Leopard23]

It's a real and it's a privledged and a luxury that few can afford

[Asker]

It's easier to afford staying home then it is affording daycare

[Leopard23]

For some people it is depending on the factors. I know couples who one works part time in the evenings and weekends, couples where one works a nightshift and one a day shift. Couples who maybe have a relative who helps them with child care. Couples who maybe one starts real early in the morning and one starts late in the morning that way there's someone there to drop the kids off at school and ond there to pick them up. Then there's couples where one stays home with the kids because they can afford to or because it makes more sense financially.
People do whatever they have to to make ends meet.

[beebella]

It's definitely a luxury for women who don't want to go out and get a job. I don't think of it as an actual job, but it's a lot of work and it's neverending, especially when the kids are young.

[grega239]

Its neither.

Its above both in importance

[AviatorTom]

It's a bit of both... a "luxury" that most couples cannot afford, and a "real job" that involves lots of activities.

[Twalli]

It's not a real job. You don't have a boss, collect a salary, etc. Having said that, it's only a privilege and luxury insofar as your family can afford to do that. It is work, and it isn't easy, so a job, no; work, yes.

[WhiteBoyChill]

The people that call it a luxury have no idea what effort goes into it

[Guanfei]

It's not a job. A family isn't a job, and whatever a stay at home parent is doing, they'd do it anyway even without a job.

It's a luxury, being able to live well with one salary while one is taking care of the house.

[SpokenTruth]

They get to stay home with their children with them in their lives children well cared for. And how is that not rewarding?

[Asker]

The work part of it is not rewarding. It seems like moms are always working and never get real quality time with their kids. That usually gets left for the dads when they have time off since everything is taking care of

[SpokenTruth]

They get to spend time with their children they get to see them when men don't get to. And that's the difference women see children and work and men see them out of love.

[SpokenTruth]

They get to spend time with their children they get to see them when men don't get to. And that's the difference women see children as work and men see them out of love.

[Asker]

Well I'm sure if someone else was covering all the work the moms do they wouldn't see the kids as work either. It's the reason why rich people get nannys to do the hard shit so they're only left with the fun quality time part of having a kid

[Likes2drive]

Definitely better than dealing with a boss all day and on their schedules , it’s just not affordable on one income usually

[Asker]

Stay at home moms just have tiny bosses that set the rules lol

[Likes2drive]

Hope they tell HR about you 😊

[Dav1dTh0ma389]

My mom is a "stay at home" mom, but its because she works from home

Why people think women shouldn't work at all, is beyond me. Think it has to do with men being lazy

[Pink2000]

It’s definitely a luxury. But it’s still a job in itself.

[convo_king89]

Most couple ls in the middle class both have to work just to get by..

[Asker]

Most stay at home moms fall into the poor category. Middle class tends to both have to work cuz they are trying to living more fancy instead of learning to budget to make things work

[cheetocandle]

Bending over all day long to pop in a DVD takes it's toll. Glad you brough this to peoples attention. lol

[TadCurious]

Apple it's definitely a real full time job.

[Aquariusmystery]

I’d love to do that but it’s just not realistic lol

[Redstang88]

I wouldn’t call it a luxury, but it’s not a job either

[gorydetails]

What happened to the other question:?

[Asker]

I accidently asked it anonymously so I asked again as myself

[gorydetails]

10-4.

[scooogy]

How about luxury as in less of a job? I know working single moms who need to interrupt work as soon as there's something up with their kids.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

It is a commitment not a job luxury or not. And it is also like a responsibility just like single people cook and clean for themselves

[Christoff92]

Stay at home Mom is making sure the children are always around her instead of hiring a babysitter 😊

[NathanDavis]

life isn't that simple

[Reece12345]

Full-time job and then some.

[Snakeyes7]

It's not a "real" job in a sense that you aren't working for an employer.

[Whatthefluff]

Exactly, I think it’s a way to shame them.

[krin_m]

You kidding me? That is the toughest job.

[Asker]

It def is tough especially with a lot of kids

[Anonymous]

It depends I have very big family. My aunt have one kids her grandmother take care of her and we have servants and they do everything.

[Nominal]

Its a privilege, because i want to spread positivity. XD

[Pete671]

Tough job, on call 24/7/365,

[Cubus]

It's not a job, but it is work.

[Kelly6]

Totally agree

[Mamasanma]

I consider it privelege

[JesseJayNeak]

It is a real job and much tougher than it looks

[RockyHammock]

100% a job

[Jerre]

I think it is a very difficult job

[TheMoreMiffed]

Vted b

[EaterPeter]

Yes and no.

[EaterPeter]

Thanks for like!

[CubaPirate]

There's probably a bit of truth in that

[LeeannaDD]

It's both honestly

[Jmmmfi4]

I believe it's purpose for being born

[Anonymous]

I'd say its both.

[Danisgivingit]

Both!
