[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^^ nobody goes to the store anymore for supplies.

Why are so many people saying 1 parent is better than 2 parents raising a child.

What planet are you on?[/quote]

Umm... exactly who has said that?  I've read posts from PPs saying both parents need to be engaged and available.  Some PPs have pointed out that having a SAHP enables that parent to not only be engaged and available all day, but also gets errands and chores out of the way so that when the WOHP gets home, s/he only has to sit down and relax with the kids.  See?  Both parents engaged and available.  No one is advocating that the WOHP work until all hours and never see their kids.  Having a SAHP allows *both* parents to focus on their kids in the evenings and on weekends.  This is not hard to understand.[/quote]

No ... the PP bemoaned being mommy tracked and since her H career took off it made more sense for her to quit and for him to continue to tak promotions. Eventually, he worked late hours, traveled all the time and was never home.

She said that this was the best model for families.

I just said that was not a good model. One person working all the time and the other raising the kids alone.

Then the PP realized how horrible her home life sounded so she said... now after missing his kids life for a few years he has seniority and is home with the kids nightly. Not sure if that is 1 hour or 5.

I just said that a model where 1 parent has to work late, weekends and travel tons is not a good model.

Do you think it is a good model for 1 parent to work so much they hardly see their kids? I don't.

I know tons of SAHM who have a H who is involved. Some men are not. I don't think that is a good model.[/quote]
