[quote=Anonymous][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]

When I’m meeting someone who doesn’t work outside the house I am usually bracing for a comment like this, s[b]ince they are handed out freely with out care for any of the reasons some one might have chosen to work.[/b] I have no other thoughts about their choices- how would I know better for them than they do for themselves?[/quote]

What if I love my work and feel passionately about it and what it does for society, and chose to work even if I don't 'have' to -- do you think those people are less-than parents, too? [/quote]

I don’t think SAHMs are leaving jobs like this, they’re leaving dead-end menial work. People who are happy and accommodated and valued stay. [/quote]
