I agree that people have made life plans based on this benefit and it would be unfair to pull it.  But I think the rules should change for people who are 20 years old or younger (or born in 2020 or whatever arbitrary date seems reasonable).  Simultaneously, drop the cost of college somehow so people can actually afford to build a career. [/quote] SAHP is not always the “luxury” choice.  Most of the families I know with a sahp have a child with SN.  They made planned to have dual WOHP, but it did not work with what life threw at them.  [/quote]

Of course. And single moms that had SN kids... well they're just screwed. Because they didn't plan well. [/quote]

Hmmm, why single out single mums for blame! They are often heroes. Married with 2 SN but also gifted children. Many friends who are single mums and awesome. There are many reasons why some people are single parents and often has nothing to do with inadequate planning. Life is complicated and full of surprises.

Children do not ask to be born or adopted. When they are brought into this world, they need adequate care and love, which can be provided by biological/ adoptive fathers or mothers or single parents or sometimes even grandparents. It is often women who become SAH caregivers though since unfortunately men are still Likely to earn more. That is slowly changing.

As today is Martin Luther King Day, it is good to dream about a world where women enjoy equal rights, equal pay and equal access to power. [/quote]

MLK cheated on wife all the time and had affairs. He was terrible to women. [/quote]
