“Don’t imply those working outside the home don’t do more work in LESS TIME than those who don’t work outside the home! Been on both sides of the fence, I can’t be conned, I know the deal.”

I don’t think a blanket statement works here. Probably more likely that SOME working outside the home do more work in less time than SOME who don’t, and SOME staying at home do more work in less time than SOME who work outide the home. Consider that there are all sorts of situations.Many of the stay at home moms are organizing, volunteering in the classroom, being the support or go-to person in the neighborhood and many other sorts of things which are definitely work and not play. Others do the minimum. Same with working moms. Some have demanding jobs and are tied to a desk, others have more flexible situations, others don’t have to work very much at their work and just want to work in order to get away from the work of child-rearing and be around grown-ups to have a social life. There are countless situations which make it sketchy to make a blanket statement that women who work outside the home do more work in less time.
Of course, let’s not get ridiculous here. That’s not the point of the article what people do with their time. People work outside the home and volunteer and take care of the neighbors kids along with their own - so let’s not beat a dead drum.
