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!
I agree. I want to add something that I haven't seen anybody else mention in this or any other post/forum. There's quite a bit of dissention about who should be the primary caregiver of the kids--moms argue that it's fifty-fifty, etc... BUT - when the rubber hits the road and everyone ends up in COURT, most of the time the judge (more often a MAN-) awards custody to who? To who? Almost always, now everyone say it at the same time--THE MOTHER!! so I call bunk and nonsense,, and I tend to agree with V. Monkey, though his delivery could use a polish. OH well, a diamond in the rough, mate...
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.

raising a child isn't an easy job, and a stay home mum is a 24/7 job, unless the hubby accepts to help out when he is back, t hen wouldn't be a problem
rohaan: It's pretty much the same here, too, Mate. I've seen kids taken away from their professional, hardworking home and hearth providing father to go live with an alcoholic, drug using trollop of a mother. THIS I DON'T get at all. But it happens all the time.
........Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......Sounds like this is happening in all the Western European Countries as in the Divorce/Family Courts where it always the Man/Father are Demons/Abuser by the 'System' .... My Kids and I had Dinner last night with my Lady Lawyer friend .....She told me to do a Google search on a interesting article done by the B.B.C on Female p*dophile...This will shock you...
personal referance here: We got married, had kids. I nursed, so it wasn't like he was about to drag himself outta bed to heat up a pre-made bottle at 4 in the morning so i could sleep 3 solid hours once in that first 2-3 months. So he wonders why i kicked him to the sofa and let the newborn have his spot in the bed between the hours of 2 to 6 a.m. My girls never went to daycare, neither of us wanted that for them, so i stayed home and cut the budget, and ran the finances while he spent 'his' money. I was a supportive wife, even when he hit that 'slump' and didn't work for a while. So we needed more money, i stopped nursing our second and last child when she was 4 months so i could take a job with hours that worked around his. This was a damn good job in insurance with benifits and bonuses. It was also 50 hour weeks. What a shock it was for me to come home one day to find child services blaming ME for my kids neglect during the day (when i was working). Come to find out he would take 5 hour'naps' while i was working letting the girls run around in soggy diapers that dragged the floor, eating raw food out of the 'fridge.
I wanted to stay home until they were school age, finacially i couldn't, but now i HAD to because working made me the bad parent. So i quit my nice job so he could keep his at... get this... pizza hut! Some good things came out of it though. i got to stay with my kids and make SURE they were cared for, and i'd managed to save enough from my job to send myself thru an at home study course from a university.
Well, my only child turns 24 next month, and early next year, will move into the home he purchased.
I still work (own boss), but if you would like to spoil me in the manner in which I could easily get accustomed, I could force myself to adjust, and stay home.
