What do you think about a women's place is in the home to take care of the children?

Answer 1

nope. a womans place is wherever she wants it to be.

Answer 2

I don't think that's an 'absolute' way of reasoning. I feel that it should be discussed if it is in the best interest of the children if the mother or father stays at home. Economics has a lot to do with it. Feminism is about equal rights for women and men and the ability to choose. Thus, the responsibility is shared between a man and a woman.

Answer 3

I think its the womans role.
It's when these roles are distorted or modified that many find trouble.
The way it was presented in the bible is good enough for me. Husband should do the outside work and women should be a good helpmeet for her husband including raising of the children.

Dont mean to step on toes here but it really does work, if we accept that both males and females have different roles. Not any less valued roles..just different. Just as women are the ones to give birth. Its all in God's plan/design ;-)

Answer 4

A woman has a choice to do either or both IF she has a helpmate/husband that shares the workload willingly and without being told what to do everytime(which causes stress on the family). If she tries to do it alone she will burn or not give her family and herself the emotional well-being that everyone deserves and/or other areas will suffer. A woman who stays at home needs to make sure that she has the education and updates it in case she should ever have to go back to work to support herself, kids, or the whole family. An at-home mom can actually save money for her family when you add up expensives fo a job. A newer/better car's payment will be more, a wardrobe that has to be updated regularly, daycare and better clothes so your child will look as nice as so & so, dry cleaning for those special work clothes and for ironing your husbands and your clothes because you won't have time, frozen and/or prepared meals or take out, etc. Also add in the stress that will come if a babysitter quits, trying to run your child to events in the evening when you are tired,shopping on weekends when the stores are packed and less bargains available and taking the kids,taking kids to dr, trying to catch up on house chores,laundry, and getting things ready for the next week. She will have less time for bonding with her family. An at home mom has time to cook from scratch which is cheaper and healthier, keeps up with chores, laundry, can schedule time for the kids events and have the meals prepared ahead of time, can shop when she needs to and taking advantage of sales, take kids to dr. during the day and not wait until after hrs or weekends when you may not get your own dr., has time to take a college course if she needs to keep up in her specialization in case she ever needs to work, take care of the budget better, see what is going on with her husband and kids, and be emotionally and physically availabile. She can nurture instead of raise her kids and be a relaxed wife who will respond to her husband. Some women say they get bored at home but that can be worked out with hobbies,volunteering, part-time home computer work, groups, selling on ebay, or taking care of another child the same age as yours so they can have a playmate. I say stay home if you possibly can and nurture your family so they will have the best chance to succeed in life.

Answer 5

I think not, unless she wants to be there. It should be her decision. I understand Some women have to work

Having said that, I think the best thing a girl should do is get an education, learn to be self-supporting, emotionally, financially and physically. Then she will have many options to enable her to make the choices that are right for her. Education will enable her to be a smarter parent, and if she does go to work it won't have to be at Wally World for minimum wage.

Answer 6

That's ridiculous. I was raised with that mentality. I had to learn to iron, clean, vacuum, do laundry and dishes by the time I was 10. When I turned 13 my mom made me learn all of her cooking and tested me each week. If it came out wrong, she would throw it in my face and make me do it again. I believe that the times have changed and that a woman should choose what she wants to be in life.

Needless to say I moved out when I turned 18. I'm in school and I have a good job and a beautiful daughter and fiance and I'm happier than I ever was!

Answer 7

I do that, I'm quite lonely though. If you enjoy being at home, stay home, if you don't then go to work. I think kids are very resilient and they grow up no matter if you're there with them or they are at a day care. I hope that helped some. Best wishes

Answer 8

If a woman is a mother then it is her place to take care of the kids. If no kids are involved, then she can have any career she chooses.

Answer 9

i didn't bring these children into this world by myself nor is it my responsibility to take care of them by my -self... real talk... this day in time, both parents need to work to make enough money to live well. the kids, the house and work are to be shared by both parties. that other sh.it is too old school...its 2006 people!

Answer 10

i think a woman's place is where she makes it.... i personally would love to stay home and take care of children and a household.... but that isnt for everyone....

....it should be her decision

Answer 11

The woman's place is where she wants to be. Plain and simple. remember it took two people to make the babies. It has to be equal responsibility and should be a mutual agreement.
