Men and women both have claim to achieve financially, pursue careers, etc. But despite what many people are telling us, men and women are DIFFERENT. Thats why I think that married women w/ children should be homemakers. Going to childcare just isn't the same as being raised ( I say this loosely) normally.Unfortunately thats probably a controversial statement. Women by nature typically are better nurturers than men, while men by nature have greater endurance when it comes to physical labor. Of course, I do know some girls that couldn't mother their way out of a paper bag and some guys who are complete wimps with no drive. I dunno, thats just what I think. I might also be mad because my abortion topic got deleted. |
Ok ... I do think it depends on the situation. In the past, the father worked and the mother stayed at home. However, with bills coming in faster than paychecks, sometimes, both parents have to work. Another thing? Understanding. You have to talk things over with your future spouse before you tie the knot. If you both agree that one of you will be a stay-at-home parent, cool. However, most women I talk to don't think it's a great job. My mom stayed at home and my life is better for it. 3 of the 4 are college grads, and 2 of those have master degrees. My brother tried college and didn't like it. And none of us were in jail and 3 of us were drug free. I attribute that to a number of factors, but my mom being at home made a world of difference.
Yes, your statement is admirable, but in the real world, I don't think a lot of folks would agree with you.
If my wife found a job making money, I would gladly stay at home and focus on my small biz.
