[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Children really do benefit from having a full time parent.  There's no way around that.  [/quote]

So working parents aren’t full time parents?  Do you homeschool your children, PP?  [/quote]

Don’t take the bait, the pp is a frump stay at home that feels better by making statements like this.[/quote]

I am a WOHM but I kind of agree with this statement - and I would agree 100% if you add “or educated grandparent” to the end of the sentence. If I didn’t have my mom around to oversee our nanny, I would quit for sure.[/quote]

You have young children.  By the time your children are in elementary school, you'll be missing, at most, 2 hours of their day.  And the older they get, the more of that two hours they'll spend outside of the home doing clubs, sports, etc., anyway.[/quote]

Not exactly as you can do the cooking, cleaning, shopping and everything else when they are in school and your time is 100% theirs plus summers. [/quote]

I actually see that as a danger of being a SAHM. They get used to having their live-in housekeeper do everything for them instead of seeing Dad pitch in and also they themselves pitching in. At the end of the day, it’s good for everyone to pitch in. Also, kids don’t need a helicopter who is 100% focused on them and whose only source of accomplishment is how well they turn out. That’s a lot of pressure.[/quote]

Nice way of twisting things to justify your life.[/quote]
