[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pay teachers and childcare workers more. They can make almost as much working in fast food but are responsible for the health, safety, and education of your children.[/quote]

Agree this is a core problem- but where would the money come from?[/quote]

From the families who need childcare.  Now, personally, I think childcare should be subsidized by the government, on a sliding scale for all families making less than 250K a year (and free for those making under about 100K) for up to 2 kids.  [b]And I think that if a parent decides to stay home, they should get the amount that they would be subsidized if they used outside childcare.[/b]  But until then, parents have to decide if they can afford to pay enough to find reliable childcare.

LOL and this is why social welfare is just a never happening concept. You want to PAY stay at home moms to take care of their own children? [b]What's to stop someone from having 9 kids and never working for 20 years[/b].

You want to have kids, you pay for their care yourself until pre-k/kindergarten. Period.[/quote]

Tell me you don't know what it's like to care for children full time without telling me you don't know what it's like to care for children full time  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]

Tell me you don't know there are plenty of families with with huge numbers of kids in this country. HAPPILY.

I love watching them on Youtube. Super-moms.

Sure, super moms because they are working hella hard raising a litter of children. Which is why it is nonsensical to argue that people would have 9 kids to *avoid work*. This is like running away from your trainer to avoid exercise.[/quote]

Plenty of women do that. Pop out another kid as soon as they realize either their spouse wants them to do something meaningful away from the home with the 'older' kids in school full-time or said kids have aged out of child support - take your pick. Do not act like some women do not have any purpose in life except for having kids - no education, no relevant work experience, no aspirations.[/quote]
