[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boys need
A mom at home.
Almost zero screen time.
Male and female friends, in real life.
A good education, either at home or in a private school.
Lots of fresh air every day.

If you're not doing that, you're gonna have a bad time. Bottom line.[/quote]

I found the right wing incel. Be for real. [b]Mom at home isn't happening in this economy[/b]. Public schools have better educated teachers than private schools that require minimal education and training.

I want responses from real people who live in the real world.[/quote]

Honestly I can buy the “not in this economy” to an extent for moms who are *just* starting a family.
But for ones who have been moms for the last 10+ years…nope.
“The economy” isn’t the barrier to moms staying home.
It’s the societal myth that is perpetuating the idea that SAHMs will be bored or boring…and the expectation that a family of four needs a 4,500+ square foot home, needs to drive luxury vehicles that are kept for no more than 4 years, and needs to vacation overseas at least dr once every few years. People are living waaaaay above the standard of living that one income can afford. And they are choosing that over prioritizing the health and wellness of their kids.[/quote]
This comes from so much privilege. For example, I was in the first generation to graduate from college in my family. Both my husband and I had a ton of college debt to pay off, which happened well after our kids were born. We weren’t working for new cars, McMansions, or fancy vacations. Now we are working so we can pay for our own kids’ schooling, planning for retirement, etc. It takes both our incomes, but we aren’t rolling in luxury.  [/quote]
