[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll be honest since you requested it OP. I have a low opinion of parents who do not even want to be the primary caregiver for their children when they are infants and toddlers. I think prioritizing material things and one's own career and self-fulfillment is selfish and indicates a lack of understanding of how important it is for young children to spend most of their time with someone who loves them completely and unconditionally. A little off of your topic but completely relevant.[/quote] Your opinion clearly presumes that the parent has a choice not to work. What about the mother who works not because she prioritizes material things but because she needs to earn money to put food on the table and a roof over the kid's head? Is she selfish? Must be difficult for you to understand the world outside of your bubble. [/quote] I'm not talking about parents who have no choice financially. I'm talking about parents who don't want to be the primary caregiver for their children when they are infants and toddlers. We did that as a family with very little extra money, prioritizing my children over everything else. [/quote] I agree, at least in part. Staying home full time isn’t for everyone but it’s weird when wealthy couples with choices choose to spend minimal time with their children. (Particularly childcare situations that are more than full time.)[/quote]
