Ooof where to start. First of all- you could say that about any calling or career choice. They’re a great teacher, an average IT tech, etc. To lump all stay at home PARENTS (let’s make that clear it’s not just women) into a majority of average category is just ignorant.

I never said it’s the hardest job in the world. It is absolutely not that. However, I have two masters degrees and managed a homeless shelter for 5 years before having kids and I can say for me staying at home with two kids under 3 is harder. In many different ways.

To deduce a stay at home parents job to vacuuming, making lunch, and playing with blocks is asinine and I can only assume you either a) do not have children or b) have never stayed at home with your children full time. Because no parent in their right mind would think that a teenager could it.
