I think there are real and tangible benefits with the stay at home parent route while kids are young (before grade 1) if you can swing it. That's what we were able to do and it worked really well. And I do believe it's a job in that circumstance.

Now with older kids I couldn't imagine my spouse being home full time. She works half to three quarter time in healthcare and that's busy and draining enough for her and us with busy teenagers. We don't have a house cleaner but the thought has crossed our minds.

Funny on this thread people talking about the extravagance of a $4200/year cleaner and on the watch thread guys are buying multiple $75,000 watches.
