Why do people think a stay at home parent doesn't work? That they have so much time on their hands? Am I wrong in thinking I have less of a break then my partner brining in the pay check

Most people don't think that? I think the exception is when the kids are all school age and the parent complains they have no time. But if the kids are not at school it's full on.
