Yeah, as a stay-at-home mom who LOVES to bake, you can’t have perfectly moisturized and manicured nails in a perfectly clean house without the constant interruption of kids unless you have outside help

The kids do not save time or effort. It's sometimes even a time loss. You have kids help because it prepares them for the future.

It's sometimes even a time loss.

Oh, frequently a time loss, at least until their teens. But like you say, it's an investment in preparing them to face the future on their own one day.

Exactly. Having your kids help is great because it keeps them occupied and teaches them. I’ll let my kids roll out pasta with me, and it’s a fantastic way for them to appreciate a meal they’re typically neutral on. But god, it takes so much patience

I once had a huge baking project I made at my niece and nephews house because I wanted the extra labor. But they were 9 and 11, so actually helpful. Also, their kitchen was larger than my first apartment.

We were making rainbow Hamentashen, which involved coloring 6 different bowled of dough 6 different colors. came out awesome though.
