first, I'm going back to work in 2 weeks, not because I want to but because I HAVE TO. My fiance recently resigned from his position at work and makes less money now because of it. I won't be having a stranger raise my children. They are going to be with their father the first 4 hours I work and with their grandmother the last 5 hours I will be gone. As far as dinner, My fiance works third shift. I'm sorry but I'm not making spaghetti at 5 am. He wants his dinner at 7:30 in the evening and that's the time I've always made it. Maybe if we didn't have all these single welfare whores collecting from the government, less taxes would get taken out of paychecks and women wouldn't have to work.

Lets see.....
First of all let me state that I work part time and bring my baby to work with me....but realized early on that I didnt want my kids in daycare.
HOWEVER---this is not every womans calling. Some women simply are better in the workplace than they are at home. There is nothing wrong with a woman choosing to stay home and be the primary caretaker of her children and husband----but there is nothing wrong with a man taking on that roll as well.
And you want to know WHY women over the past 50 years have talked so much about women's rights---because they were dominated and surpressed for so long. It is hard to imagine in our society today as really women have come such a long way.
I am all for women being paid the same as men, having the same opportunities as men---but I am no feminist! I think that women and men were created with different talents and abilities and that they work best when they compliment each other.
If you are looking for a woman to stay home and raise the kids and make your dinner, all I can do is suggest that you get a VERY good job (hard to survive on one income today) and that you be totally upfront with her early in the dating process.

Well, one day women got fed up with being the provider of the home, the bearer of the children, and the soul mate to a man, She thought to herself it's unfair to NOT be able to chase my dreams and be treated with double standard for her rights as a human being and guess what SHE spoke and the world listened and gradually; the world changed. There's nothing wrong with a woman that chooses to be a homemaker, there's nothing wrong with a woman that choose to get up in the morning and go to work, All I'm saying is there is nothing wrong with Choice.
As far as being raise by a stranger that can be potentially dangerous to you or your kids, I can't see it. Who would put themselves or their family in that kind of danger? As an adult we want what's best for our lives and our children. Growing up I had a stepfather after my parents separated and it didn't damage me or my siblings, my mother decided she needed help raising her children and balancing her check book it was that simple. He was an alright man then and he still is. Reality check unless you have too, who would Want to be a single parent, having 2 parent has so many more benefits to offer then a 1 parent house hold.
I'm married with 4 children and I like being a stay at home mom it has it's ups and downs but, I don't think my husband would trade it to be a stay at home dad...

I would love to stay at home with my daughter, but unfortunately my husband is paying out the *** for his 2 older children from a previous relationship. The mothers are welfare scum. I am responsible for paying all the bills and making sure everyone is fed and clothed. I think women sometimes take the womens rights thing to far. I like it when a man opens a door for me or pulls out a chair for me. I do believe in equal pay for equal work. I did say EQUAL. I work 50 hrs. a week and still have the laundry done and dinner on the table every night. He helps with the house work. and I still have 5 hours in the evening for my family.

Not everyone wants that though. Women have the right to have a career, just like men. I actually know some stay-at-home dads. They take care of the kids. If a woman wants a life outside of the house, she deserves it. Just because someone is born as a male or female doesn't automatically assign them to a category of gender roles. As long as the family is happy and healthy, don't worry about it.

"Back then," women didn't have much of a choice. They were expected to stay home with their children. Now women have a choice and many prefer to work outside the home. Many women feel that they're better moms when they don't have to stay home with their children all day. And some women would prefer not to give up their careers to stay home. This doesn't mean that they're bad mothers (not that I think that's what you were implying), it's their choice. Other women don't have a choice but work. Several of my friends who are married would MUCH prefer to stay home with their children, but they're not able to for different reasons. I personally hope to stay home with my children from at least birth until kindergarten. This is something I've dreamt of doing since I was a teenager, but whether I'm able to will depend on several different things. Even if I'm able to stay home, I highly doubt I'll be able to have dinner on the table for my husband. Other than not being much of a cook, I hardly see having time to bathe and keep the house picked up while trying to take care of children. Some women can do it all, I just don't see myself as one of them. But we shall see... ;)

I think that many women (hilary Clinton) have had weak men so they end up doin it all them selves anyhow, so why not get the credit?
I totally agree with you, i love to have a strong man be the bread winner and when he gets home the house is sparklin clean, kids happy, dinner hot and ready, and me too!
As long as women have the ability to stay home i think most will, actually statistically stay at home moms are on the rise, Hopefully that means that divorce is down!

To each their own, it is very hard in this day and age to survive on a single income, and a lot of women (myself included) enjoy/need that outside of the home life to keep from going crazy. I still cook, clean etc, but my husband does too and we enjoy that part of our lives. He's in the military and with me gone at work 3 nights a week it gives him and our son time together just the 2 of them to do all the stuff Mommy dosn't let them do. I have friends who do the stay at home thing and love it, I tried it and ended up depressed which wasn't good for anybody. The key is trying to find that balance that works for your family and checking out your daycare throughly. You'll just have to make that aspect known to any women you're serious about that you want to be the provider of the family finances and her to stay at home. You may have to look harder for Miss Right but she's out there for you.

There is nothing wrong with being an at home mum and housewife, providing you are satisfied doing that. I support women's rights because of those women who are unhappy at the thought of not having a job. For many women a job represents a degree of independence, making a contribution to the household (and before you say it, of course the women who choose to stay at home make an invaluable contribution). I think it is the right to choose the role which you are happiest with which is the important thing.

the point of women's rights is that we now have the option to stay at home, or get a job. We have freedom. We are not expected to sit at home and raise kids and cook all day wearing a dress. You have every right to stay at home, if you marry a guy with similar values to yours who does not mind paying the mortgage, bills, etc. That is the beauty of women's rights.
