a stay at home parent is a job,
Its 24/7 work and needs to be classed as an occupation instead of us having to to be classed as unemployed
Yes I know being a stay at home parent isn't a job its a choice, and in saying that why should we be classed as unemployed

The quiet reality of domestic work is often overlooked because it happens behind closed doors. Many of you have reached out to share stories of how this label affects your sense of dignity when filling out official papers. I am currently working on a formal proposal to ensure these contributions are recognized properly.

Seeing this momentum grow confirms that many people feel the same frustration regarding how our daily work is formally recognized. It is encouraging to watch so many of you affirm that home management holds real value in our society.

About time. We don't get any days off, no sick leave, no smokos or lunch breaks. We're constantly working making sure our family gets the food, health and education they need.
I support this fully sick of begin called a bludger because im raising my kids my partner works i will go back when my yougest is in school
How are stay at home mums, who work at parenting and he duties classed unemployed yet people who do 1 hr community service or volunteering classed employed
I stay at home with my daughter im studying to get a diploma I dont believe in leaving my daughter with other people for her to be looked after n teach her im her parent n I do this all alone and wouldnt change it for the world
Us parents should be classed as stay at home parent instead of just home duties or unemployed we are doing a job, our job is 24/7
Definitely!
Im a stay at home mum its harder then people think, on the job 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

I'm about to become a single stay at home mother in the next 16 weeks and staying home to take care of my child as it is the only option i'd rather not get classed as an dole bludger. I was still looking for work until 16 weeks pregnant and out of 220 applications i only got 10 interviews and one trial so its not easy. Being a stay at home single mother will be a full on full time job for me and should be classed as such
