Another Poll: Work or SAH?

TexasHarmony

Based on a lurker's opinion of us being a bunch of SAH folks with too much time on our hands, do you work or SAH?

I work both outside and inside the home... and then I spend my evenings being a mom and wife.  I'm pretty sure i dont have "too much time on my hands"... sure wish i did!

AmyDrinkie

I work FT.

Ha. Well, I don't have a paying job but I won't list all the crap I do. Unless you want me to.

WAH with little "spare time"

I am a SAHM, but rarely stay home.  I'm babysitting otherwise we would be out.

TXsun

I have a FT job outside the home as  well as a side biz. I do from home.. or where ever my laptop is

Belle101781

I work FT and have a PT job 3 days a week.

I'm a wife and a cook and I do laundry.

I am a dog mommy to Picasso who is blind and has diabetes and needs 2 shots of insulin per day and my full and undivided attention when I'm home.

The same with my husband, he needs my full and undivided attention when I'm home. lol

And I would pay money to have too much time on my hands.

I think your blog is a full time job. I marvel at your ability to cook at this stuff, never mind document it.

I work FT and then some...not to mention the whole wife/mother thing...

FinallyKrisB

Work FT.

And when I *am* at home I sure don't have time to be on the nest.

HitchedFeb08

Work FT with a 1 1/2 hour drive.

And you don't want to know how much time I spend in volunteering/fostering/doggy stuff.

Work, graduate school, train for marathons....I'm just a master-procrastinator. I will always find time to waste :P

Only a person without kids would assume that being a SAHM means you don't have anything to do. My kids demand constant attention, far more than any of my bosses ever did.

No doubt.  The second I look away they are doing something like drinking syrup from the bottle or dumping an entire bottle of Hershey's in the play kitchen pans.

I can see the picture. That's the only reason I know we are not talking about the exact same children.

Work FT out of the home here, hour drive each way.

Some days I have loads of time. Some days, like today, I have meetings all day long as well as trying to keep up with my regular work load and projects.

SAH... and we dont have kids yet but we have one on the way  

Ive only been SAH since we moved to Houston a year ago before that I worked FT. And since we have been here this has been my second pregnancy, but the first ended in a missed m/c. Now I try to make sure that DH doesnt have too much to do in the evenings.... but the last month or so he has been doing everything as I keep overdoing it and even going to the shops with my belly and this heat is a struggle!

But before I got pregnant I did have quite a bit of time to spare... and got back into crafts that I never had time to do before.... although thinking about it Ive actually been pregnant for a lot of the time I have been in Houston! And I have no idea how I would have coped working and pregnant... although I know many do... Im just super exhausted the whole time. I guess Im so not used to the heat!!

mom2ll

I do both.  I have my own business and I'm a SAHM to a 2 and 3 year old.  I have 15 hours of child care a week.  I take care of the house, kids and my clients.  I haven't had free time since sometime in 2007....

 This!

 I had WAAAAYYY more time to be online when I was working full time! Now my friends and family complain I'm never online, don't post pics or send out updates anymore. I just don't have the time to be on the computer much recreationally.

I own my own business and work a few days a week out the house--with a kid in tow. I don't have childcare of any sort, so no, I'm not lounging around eating bonbons. I'd like to be lounging around knitting, but have you ever tried knitting while a toddler is within 100 yards of you??

SAH.  My only computer time comes during naptime.

CindyandScott

Work full time and 3 days out of the week I work from home with the kids at home.

KNJepp

SAH with a toddler who is in.to.everything.  Too much time on my hands?  Hardly!  I just don't always make the most "productive" use of my "free" (aka, nap) time.
