[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey don’t be so down on yourself, your work is fundamental to society by contributing to the next generation in a positive manner. [b]A well loved and cared for child grows into a good member of society[/b]... so cheer up.[/quote]

This is SUCH a good point! Children of dual-working parents are not well-loved or cared for so thank goodness we have some stay at home parents to make sure there are some of these in society![/quote]

What is your point? Are SAHMs worthwhile or not?[/quote]

Absolutely. SAHMs raise well adjusted kids who are valuable members of society. [/quote]

This is a blanket generalization that should not be made.

Parents of all types of work or stay at home situations can raise well adjusted kids who are valuable members of society.

Parents of all types of work or stay at home situations can raise kids who are detriments to society.  Though I would argue that the people in that latter category are few, thankfully.

That said, I said it before and I'll say it again, people who contribute to the raising and education of children in our society should be more highly valued than they are, be they SAHPs, nannies, other types of childcare workers or teachers.[/quote]
