[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crazy idea. What if we lived in a society where people didn't have to scramble all the time, so they could work AND contribute to their communities. And what if women AND men had the flexibility to do that? [/quote]

Here's a crazy idea, if a family can afford to have one parent home and chooses it, why not support it.  Reality is some jobs can be very flexible and others cannot.  I quit mine as mine was not flexible and I had a horrible boss who wouldn't even let me go to the doctor for an emergency.  The boss was a woman.  Women are far more difficult (in general) to work for.  My husband has always had reasonably flexible jobs.  We had a child with SN and my income would barely cover child care so it made sense for me to stop working.  Here's another idea:  by raising healthy, happy well cared for children, you are contributing to your community.  You presume its best for everyone that all men and women work.  You can contribute in many ways without a paid job.  If my child comes out ok and happy and can function on her own/go to college and have a good life. Then, I have been successful and contributed to my community.[/quote]
