[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAHM for the early years seems like the logical decision unless she is making a large salary. Or you’re paying someone about $20 an hour to raise your child. [/quote]

It’s only logical if you’re okay with women not achieving the same career potential as men. And life isn’t all about career but women shouldn’t have to be the ones to sacrifice.[/quote]

Raising a child shouldn’t be a sacrifice. It’s a privilege. Young children need stability, competence and love. It’s unfortunate that so few children get that.

The first three foundational years of life are the most critical years.

What would happen to your house if it had a faulty foundation?

Well then there should be more community and government support for parents of young children.  Instead, maternity leave is sh*t, daycare is exorbitant, employers are unforgiving of parents tending to kids needs/illnesses.
Raising children takes a village- always has.  But sadly, the US has turned it into an individual responsibility over the last 60 years.  Therefore women (and men) are saying it's too hard and expensive, so forget it.[/quote]
