Well, let's be consistent here. You wrote, at most, child care was a two hour a day job. You also wrote, I did not say I devoted two hours a day to my children. So which is it? You think it's only a two-hour-a-day job, but you actually spent more time on it? This isn't clear.

I asked you politely who should raise the children if the mom isn't going to do it because it's such a brief and easy task and she takes herself off to work. (Very few people can take their children to work in a backpack.) The thread did not get an answer. Instead, you actually insulted those of us who chose to stay home and raise our children ourselves.

What I said was perfectly clear and consistent. You chose to try to parse it your way. Nice try.

I stayed home my 50% of the time. Every Tues. Thurs and every other Friday Sat and Sunday. 7 out of every 14 days. And, my kids (two of them 20 months apart) had a great time with me as I did my own work the other 10 hours a day. I knew how to do this since my father was also a work at home dad designing lighting systems from his office at home and raising three kids.

Ask grandma. She’ll tell you that your 16 hour a day child care job is just a joke.
