Being at stay at home Mom or Dad is a full time job. It will be your responsibility to keep everyone schedule straight, the house clean, yard work done, help with kids home work, and any after school activates. This full time job has no punch in or out lock. You are always on the clock when ever you are needed.
Now let's look at a typical day. The house is clean in under an hour. (this is because we clean everyday and after every meal.) The kid's home work should take about an hour to finish. We'll even add in two hours total for meal preparation and two hours for appointment or after school actives. That will only add up to six hours a day. Now that is a full time job six hours a day for seven days. That is forty two hours a week.
Board yet? Not when we look at the hours like that. There is going to be down time however, when everything that needs to be done is done.
