While stay at home parenting isn't, and shouldn't have to be, for everyone, it also isn't somehow a downgrade from being in the working world. If anything is doing something 'over and over', it's trudging to some job to push papers/keyboard keys around for 8+ hours.

Taking care of kids without a sitter means you have to watch the kid 24h/day. Every waking moment needs to be supervised.

There are tons of socializing during the work time. Nobody sits and types for 8 hours a day without moving.
