[quote=Anonymous]I hate to rain on everyone's 1950s fantasy of how the western world always was, but SAHM doting on her kids at home? Was never really the case here, and to the extent it was, was a big aberration from the way things have always been. Throughout history, most daily childcare has been outsourced, either to servants (for the upper classes) or other children or relatives (for the lower classes). My sister in law is a sahm, and very, very proud of that fact. My brother lost his job and guess who forked over thousands of dollars so they would have food on the table and a roof over their heads? Me, the working mother. Providing for a family's financial security is every bit as important, if not more so, than day-to-day childcare tasks. If there is one value I want to instill in my children, it is a strong work ethic.[/quote]
