some people's finances necessitate it. When you are living on $235 per week and your gas bill is $300 one month; when you and your husband huddle up next to space heaters for warmth, and give up food for gas for him to get back and forth to work, tell me how that is greed for both to work. That is when I had to get a job.
Right now I am not working, and I am going NUTS. I do not enjoy housework at ALL, and praise God that I live in a society where I can CHOOSE what I want to do with my life, and use my talents where I have them. Talents for me do not exist at the home! Cooking and cleaning are 2 things my husband is actually much better at than I.
Statistically, stay at home moms do not spend anymore time with their school age children than working mothers. Also, studies have shown that daycare has no negative effect on children (as long as it is a good daycare. Only bad daycares have neg effects--in fact, Dr. Dobson once quoted a study that said daycares were bad, but if you read the whole study, it said daycares had no negative effect unless it was a poor quality daycare. So watch whay people tell you about studies on daycare), that daycare can be beneficial, and that daycare does NOT affect the child's parental attachment. So if you want to work,why not? If you don't want to work, you don't have to (unless your finances necessitate it). Children of working parents tend to be more independent, successful, and autonomous.
Therefore, why can't we just stop passing judgment on each other for the choices we've made?

Have you taken a good look at the house and vehicle prices lately? If women don't work full time there is no way to pay the bills for some people.
Other people are quite honestly just plain GREEDY and love to live way beyond their means.
Big difference between WANTS and NEEDS.
You NEED a place to live. You WANT that huge 4 bedroom house in the new subdivision that the bank owns.
You NEED transportation. You WANT the two brand new SUV's in the driveway that the bank owns.
What it comes down to is there's a lot of STUPID people out there that don't WANT to live with a little bit less and don't care if the bank owns them, as long as they look "successful" to the rest of the world.

Are women working because of wants or needs? If you want to stay home, you have to ask yourself this.
Ironically you can thank the feminist movement for that...it helped clog the job market with more people. Add illegal aliens and outsourcing, and you have a recipe for financial disaster.
My husband has a pretty good job and I'm able to stay at home with our son...we just don't get as many toys for ourselves.

The cost of living has gone up over the last 10 years. When I started driving over 30 years ago gas was .45 per gallon, now it's over $3.00. If you could live on love it would be great, but it's not feasable. It now takes a husband and wife to get by. Good luck to you.

Because our society is one of greed. People think it's more important to have stuff than to care for the kids. So, put the kids in daycare for 8-10 hours a day, spend 2 hours with them before bedtime and then buy a new care. I truly find it disgusting.

Because now a days things are expensive and the average family needs 2 incomes, regardless I think women should work. We need to make something of ourselves and have a back up plan and career of our own. We wouldnt want our husband to run off with his secretary and leave us high and dry now would we??

The cost of living has gone up more than the average salary, so both men and women have to work to support the family.

Disagree. i like to study Jane Austen novels yet are you able to think of residing under such oppression? a million. in the nineteenth Century a womans sole objective grew to become into to marry for money as a results of fact all the valuables went to the male inheritor. the place is the self appreciate and dignity in that? on the instant time she may well be pronounced as a gold digger. 2. Violence against different halves in those days have been rife. men justified their 'real' to abuse with a view to regulate their different halves. women had to undergo this as a results of fact there grew to become into no thank you to flee the marriage. lower back, that to me is degrading. 3. women have been compelled into donning ridicuously tight corsets which brought about actual injury to their ribs and abdomen -- it fairly is not any elegant, its ludicrous and degrading to the organic woman sort. those females you describe on your submit are pronounced as youngsters who're nevertheless experimenting with their photograph. Society has made then have faith that's what men choose to confirm. young little ones elevating young little ones: you won't be ready to in elementary terms blame teenage females for this. Its all approximately ideal parenting and instructing young little ones... boys and ladies ...approximately delivery administration. on the completed, young little ones are far greater perfect off in recent times than lower back then and females have far greater self appreciate and dignity.

Because woman today wants to have their own money, so they don't have to ask everything from the men. Personally I think that's the reason for so much divorces because woman today do not care they have their own things so time to beg is what they don't have. As a results divorces increases.
All the best.
