[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its tough being a two career family and its tough being one career family, just in different ways. However, until kids start full time KG, its beneficial for them to be raised by a loving parent than a paid caretaker. There is no real benefit for the parent risking their career to become a full time parent. Its much easier to do part time parenting.[/quote]

What?  It’s not as tough to be a one career family as it is to be a two career family.

Being a working mom with a SAHD is the best.  It’s really the only way to “have it all.”[/quote]

The number one complaint in this forum is that men don't pull their weight at home or in parenting.

That means that in order to have it all, you have to find a man willing to be a SAHD (a rare unicorn) who is [i]also [/i]willing and able to do the majority of the household and parenting work (also a rare unicorn). A rare unicorn squared! Good luck with that.

(I believe the consensus is that SAHMs should not have to do 100% of the parenting and household tasks - the working dad has to do [i]something[/i]. By extension the SAHD should not have to do 100%. But what is a reasonable percentage for the SAH parent? 90% 80%)[/quote]

While it is fun to pretend we would respect a man for his diaper-changing and toilette cleaning skills, the reality is quite different.

SAHDs are the ones who’s wives cheat (especially on work travel).[/quote]

Do we respect women for these skills?  Or any others?

This thread is about SAHDs.[/quote]
