i agree, im currently holding my 1month old daughter in my lap "she's sleeping" and my wife doesn't work and i wouldn't have it any other way. Its alot more pressure on me. i want her to be raised by her mother b/c i want the best for her and imo only she can give her that, breastfeeding for example. altho i try too be the best father i can also, and btw my daughters name is Zelda Avaline "she named her"

 also i would consider us equals,

im dating a doctor, if we end up married with kids im gonna have to be stay at home dad

I'd happily be a stay at home dad - console to myself, yippee!

Unfortunately my wife only works part time while I work full time so little chance of that.

I think either parent can work while either can stay at home - as for childcare, studies do show it is not as good as having a parent at home, but for many this is not an option due to cost of living, etc.

My wife was able to stop work when we had kids and I'm glad financially we could take this option, and when kids hit school age she began part time work more out of desire than need. But that's not an option for everyone and I'd hesitate to criticise people where both parents have to work to earn enough and childcare becomes a necessity.

if it was best for my family, i would be a stay at home dad, but in most cases the best option is for the mother to raise the kids.

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. 

How do you know that's true? Not only is it impossible to generalize, but in many cases it's not posible to raise a familyon a single income.

It is very possible - my wife and I are doing. My parents did it as well - raised 4 children. And we even took family trips yearly! You have to budget and figure out what you want vs. what you need. If you go without all of the luxuries you want, yeah, you can do it. It's not easy, but I am living proof in two generations, it can be done. 

Good Lord, if Vgchartz becomes flooded with this crap im just gonna have to stop coming here. What in the hell does this have to do with video games? There are much more appropriate places for these types of conversations. Also, the OP is very very wrong.

If you're trying to say it's better to have one parent at home, than none (or any other person), you might be true (yet, I had none and everything went fine for me).
In fact, it would even be better to have the TWO parents, I guess.

But if you're trying to say that parent should be the woman, then yes, you're out of the line.

Furthermore, I doubt that you're a parent yourself, because your view on work, time, money and time spend with children are pretty naive.

So you want greater welfare benefits to help women who want to be full time mothers? You think mothers don't have enough rights? How does this tie into equal rights at all? Why are you talking about equal rights having gone to far? What equal-rights legislation do you think needs to be changed? You seem to just be talking about your beliefs about women and what they're good at, rather than talking about people's rights.
