[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think American norms that everyone has to have a paying job (ie, “launch”) is unhealthy. Who then has time to cook, take care of family, house, etc. which is we rely on plastic disposable packages, processed foods, outsource childcare, too many unruly students who are poor at reading and math.

I agree that there is a level of misogyny in the US that doesn't value women work (childcare, cooking, cleaning, etc.) unless there is a paycheck attached to the work. So if a person is a chef for a paying job it's valued but cooking healthy meals for family is not valued - stay at home parents are viewed as worthless and lazy. It's really rooted in misogyny and bad for children who lack good home cooking and care.[/quote]

Before the two income craze, the need to rely on take out, processed foods wasn’t so high. Especially when you have to take care of kids on top of the two careers. It’s possible to juggle everything I suppose— I guess that’s why Americans are world renowned for their lack of obesity and their happiness?

And no sahms do not cause failure to launch offspring, what an absurd post.[/quote]
