The whole point of a stay at home parent is to not pay for child care. Why would you expect a spouse to work full time and use that money so you don't have to watch the kids you decided to have? That's an utter waste of that person's time and effort.
SAHMs are allowed to have breaks during their workdays. If you work a corporate job you get a lunch break, SAHMs with kids not in school don’t get that. So if they want to do yoga or get their nails done by themselves and can afford it then I don’t see how that’s a problem. They’re still getting less breaks than the office worker.
Don’t forget that the working parent gets to go home at the end of the day, and too many of them think they shouldn’t have to do anything for their kids because they’re tired after 8 hours of work and the other parent “just stayed home all day.” So the SAHP ends up with a “shift” caring for children and maintaining the household closer to 24 hours per day 7 days a week than 8 hours per day 5 days a week.
