constraints in place for my life planning:
- no dayjob ever if i can possibly get away with it
- enough free time to spend a lot of time with kids
- enough financial freedom + free time so kids don’t have to go to public school
already quite strong constraints 😬

that’s identical to being a stay-at-home parent, right?

does “stay-at-home parent” include the possibility of having side hustles that make money but take, say, less than 10 hours a week to maintain? i want the thing to be feasible for both parents to do

Ah I see, this is when to gesture at “home production” and start deconstructing “job” and “work”

Replying to @ben_r_hoffman @uncatherio and @QiaochuYuan
"Stay at home parent" exists within an implied binary between "travel daily to your master to work for wages" and "home production that wouldn't count towards GDP."

I think you’re saying “neither parent travels to master to work a fixed hourly amount for salary or wages”
achievable, yeah - and/but think for it to be feasible for both parents to do, more net exported production needs to be happening, because you import so much
