Shhh about the Daughters of Satan - you will ruin our image!
solsticemoon: so speakin of the daughters of satan...what u doin for halloween...maybe we shud all go n see Robert?
MMM! Halloween is a happy time! Scaring small children and grown men! Passing out candy and laughing! Great time! Not sure what I'm doing but I know I WILL be having fun (psst...save bail money) back soon!
when the kids were little she stayed home, i worked two jobs and we had a good life when the kids got older she wanted to go to work, which she did but that was her money, i felt it was my place to provide, and the kids were teens so they helped around the house

Inthewoods: If I was younger and had kids, my wife would be a stay at home mom. My own Mother took a break from her job to raise my brother and me. I would not be into day care at all. Listen to Dr. Laura, thats the way I feel. kids need to be raised by there Mother, not some day care worker...and I do not care if you don't agree with me.
and that is what i am doing raising my little boy at home
amahlala: Honestly, who cares? What ever happens to work for what ever situation is what is best. I've worked and supported the household while my ex stayed home with the kids. I've stayed home with the kids while my ex supported the household. It's all good...kids were happy that's all that matters in the end.
I agree I done both as well.
At the time I had the children my husband earned more and it made sense for me to be home, pus they were my children i wanted to be one that looked after them, if you can't accept the cryin,changing diapers etc why have children in the first place.
They grow up soon enough, I would do anything to have them small again.
It depends on the couples' comfort and their financial status, especially it's wise to be occupied to love each other better, as a mild distance while working helps the couple to want each other.
Being qualified,eligible and fast is the mode of new generation. so it's a yes to break the dependancy and be there to help each other in need.
Yes I know it takes two people to make the kids and that's a given.Duh LOL!!!!
I guess you could call me a traditional mother just like my mother was.I was a stay at home mother and chose to do so and was proud to do so.There was no way that my sons were going to become latch key kids or be taken care of by a daycare.I felt my work at home was just as important as what my sons father did.
I most certainly didn't sit home all day watching soaps or just plain sitting on my butt all day as some men seem to think some women do.I may not have brought a pay check home but I felt my job was equally important.
jakeinthebox88: Some call it traditional values, others call it a cage.
I happen to think it's a 50-50 split--it took both of you to make the kid(s), it should be a mutual effort to raise them.
Thoughts?
Comments?
Threats?
I think it's up to both people in a relationship. My parents considered it a 50/50 split that dad worked and mom took care of the house and raising us kids, but that's because dad was gone 4-5 days a week as a pilot, and his income was sufficient to provide for the family well without additional income. Mom wanted to work, btw, and dad didn't allow it because he wanted her home when he was home, and her income would have thrown them into a higher tax bracket without bringing in enough income to make it worth it. I think she considered it a cage.
Don't get me wrong, I love my dad, but I think he should have allowed her to work. He did allow her to be involved heavily with her church as a Trustee and to be involved in things like quilting groups once we were older.
If I dated a man who had a high enough income to support the household on his own, I'd want a choice about working, not a demand that I be home all of the time, and not a demand that I work too. I'd need the respect of choice, because I'd most likely choose not to work so that I could focus on my studies, until I was done with school.
NebraskaNubee: I'LL TAKE HEAT FOR THIS ...BUT MOMS ...SHOULD STAY WITH THE KIDS AT LEAST TILL THE GO TO SCHOOL...
...THATS WHY SO MANY KIDS ARE TROUBLED TODAY!
Actually, I agree with you on this. I did my best to do that, and was able to do so until my older son was two, but my younger son was still nursing when I was forced to return to work. However, they still had a stay-at-home parent in their father, and he was the more domestic one of us anyway, so it worked out well.
hollandgirl: My thoughts completely it sounds like staying at home mom can watch tv al day and she is not thought of as working? Hello? Every man who thinks like this should play mom for a month.
Agreed, Jenny. Though my mom did watch her soaps, she also worked hard taking care of us and the house, which is why my father considered it a 50/50 partnership. Financial decisions were mutual, and he considered she did her part to earn the paycheck as well.
