It's a murky subject because in some families someone is a designated 'caretaker' or 'homemaker' as the other spouse earns the income, but in this day and age that's not the norm anymore.
I'm a single parent so I work full time and then do what I gotta do for my son, whether thats house cleaning, bringing him to hockey, paying for hockey, getting groceries, cooking meals, etc.
I don't think its a job because you dont earn an income, simple as that for me. Its more a kin to a hobby than an actual job. Plus, having kids is a choice, earning some kind of income is not usually a choice. You can leave a job at any time, but thats not what this is. You can't just leave your kids and get new ones.
Just my thoughts. Not trying to offend or anything like that.
