[quote=Anonymous]I'm a SAHM (3 yo and 1 yo). I don't need to be paid. It bothers me that some people look down on me for being a SAHM, but oh well.... Money from the government wouldn't solve that. I do feel like every woman should have the option have one child and be able to stay home with that child til age 3. It's an essential human joy that should be open to all of us. It breaks my heart that there are women out there who have to return to work and put young children in childcare because they are too poor to stay home. I would be devastated if I had to return to work and leave my babies with someone else, and I don't think any person should have to face that if it's not their own choice. So, in a sense, I guess those people should get "paid" for staying home with children. OR I think 1) housing should be affordable and 2) their partners should be able to make a living wage that supports a family.[/quote]
