Real men take care of their kids

I have often said women will not be free until men are allowed to stay home with the kids when its what they want and is best for the family.


Men have as much right to do this as women do.


I LOVED being a stay at home mom.


I as a woman was looked down on for it by both men and women.

I totally agree. But I don't think men should be rated higher than women if they choose to stay home. All too often everyone exclaims over the man staying home, but women don't get the same credit for it.

It's all about choices people; that's what feminism is- women AND men doing what works for them without regard to gender stereo-typing.

I guarantee you that one parent being home (if they aren't Peggy Bundy type) is the ideal. I'm home with my boy right now. The problem is that too many people can't afford it.

We do not agree on much but on this we agree. And folks were wrong to "look down" you for your decision.

You gave your kids something amazing by doing do!
Much respect.
I plan to dedicate myself to becoming a stay home parent at the end of July. If all goes well!!
 
Next time you think about being angry at he kids, stop and reflect!
You'll blink and have to drive to college to visit the little rug rats.

I agree .. but here's the reality both society and the courts must face .. men are just as capable of raising their kids as women are .. including girls. That's a false axiom that needs to die.

In cases of divorce or custody, neither party needs to start with an advantage based on outdated norms.

When raising my own daughter by myself, people telling me 'how wonderful it was that I was raising her alone' made me uncomfortable. I would respond by saying there is nothing special about me, and more men would do it if the courts would get out of the way and treat us as equals.

That was more than 30 years ago .. and they still don't.

Your husband kept you barefoot and pregnant? How sexist that you didn't work while raising your kids. You are a sellout to the feminist cause and aren't down wit da struggle

well... there are a lot of bad parents out there!

I don't claim to know the ideal. It varies from family to family. I know most parents try to do their best, whether they are a single parent or in a relationship. What they don't need is a whole lot of people telling them - no matter their choice - that it was the wrong one.

I think as long as the parent or parents let their kids know they love them, the kids will turn out ok, whether the kids were raised by a stay-at-home parent(s), nanny, day care, grandparents, whatever. And we can help by not telling them they're doing it wrong...

If only love solved everything candy would fall from the sky. Day care and nanny's are not the same as a loving parent. I don't have a problem with dads staying home to raise their kids. What is funny is that dipshit Desh posts this as if it is some surprise.

Liberals and their memes

I think that depends... I have employed the same loving and kind nanny for almost 8 years now. She is often the one home with the kids, my wife and I come and go as we need to. I only live half a mile from my office. I often get to go out to lunch with my wife. This scenario is ideal for my family.

Exactly, It depends. Having a parent home ISN'T always the ideal.

I worked at home, so, I was able to be there for my children, but also had a business, best of both worlds.
