[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My god, it's almost like raising children all-the-way to adulthood is *gasp* a whole job!!!

Yeah, y'all. It is. And we should have a culture where you don't have to be independently wealthy to afford to be at home and parent your kids. If you don't want to, you should have competent, qualified caregivers at an affordable price. It's hard enough to find that for preschoolers, let alone for teens.

But the US isn't ready for that conversation, and SAHPs are usually treated like ignorant, lazy freeloaders.[/quote]

We absolutely had that. And feminists blew it up by insisting on women’s “rights” to have a choice to join the workforce making rich companies richer so that they could feel useful outside of their homes—which is, (ironically), the place where they are needed the most and are not easily replaced. 
Except it wasnt really a choice.
It was a mandate—because SAHM’s were then looked down upon…and at the same time, the housing market started to follow the trend of supplying homes at rate that only families with two working parents could afford….and now we’re stuck in this loop and unable to go back because progress.[/quote]
