[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it possible that after a generation or two of two-income households, people are placing more importance on having a parent stay home with their kids?  And yes, there is a natural and biological proclivity for that stay at home parent to be the woman.  You can argue whether that is right or wrong, but the data support that conclusion.

Why is it considered "equality in retreat" if a woman wants to stay home with her kids?  My wife was raised by a single professional woman and had a successful professional career herself.  And now she is out of the workforce, as a stay at home parent.  That hardly puts her in retreat or gender inequality.[/quote]

I agree with this, although not every women steps out of the workforce by choice. But it is true that many people saw what the rat race was doing to themselves and their families and chose a different way to live that was better for them. The inequity is that no everyone has this option. But when two working professionals make a mutual choice for their family to drop to one income, I think that it is unsound to suggest that this is gender inequity.[/quote]

I would never SAHM because my husband would only further check-out of his family duties. All the household stuff I do is already taken for granted by him so why on earth would I ditch my career for that unappreciativeness? Thank goodness we only have daughters and they started seeing right through him when each was 4 yo — when he couldn’t even hold a conversation w them w o looking at his work iPhone or keeping track of anything they said. So sad. [/quote]

"Thank godness we only have daughters", you not only apparently have bad taste and judgement in men you are sexist, a great match.[/quote]
