My wife is a SAHM. Usually during summer vacation she does just fine handling the kids without their being offloaded to professionals.
The current situation is a lot tougher, though, since a lot of the things she'd normally do with the kids during the day are denied right now: the zoo is closed, museums are closed, playgrounds and parks are closed, gymnasiums are closed, no play dates with friends, no visits from family, etc.
I think it's unfair to try to draw your conclusion from the present situation.
- code_duck 6y agoThat's a good point that we are experiencing exceptional circumstances. Many people can't handle being home this long on their own, children aside. However the zoo, playgrounds, museums, play dates and family are all systems for offloading the burden of one's children onto something external.
