women should stay home take care of children. Do you agree or disagree? Why?

Answer 1

I believe that at least one parent should be home during the children's formative years. It makes a world of difference in their upbringing and gives the children security. I believe it also strengthens the marriage as well.

Unfortunately nowadays, most people can't afford to have one parent stay home.

Answer 2

I was lucky enough to have my Mom home to take care of me until I was in school, and then she simply volunteered @ the school. When it comes time for us to have children, I will stay home and work part-time once they start school. I know a few "at home dad's" as well and I think that's awesome! Not many families have the option these days and that's just unfortunate. It's a shame that for most people going back to work is not a chioce, but a necessity.

Answer 3

Times have changed because of the evil that has been engulfing society due to the many sins and ignorance of the people. But why do women have to go to work now? It's mainly the evil that tries to overtake families. I do believe that women are supposed to be in the home, but they would need a car to get around, and with all the expenses, if the husband is not making enough, what can they do? We have to commit our way to the Lord, and ask him for wisdom and guidance and he knows every need we have for ourselves and our families, and he is able to do abundantly above all we can ask or think. so, if he guides a woman to get a job, then she is to work, but there are many issues involved, like will the children come home and nobody is there? That is not good, so we have to really seek God's will about every detail so he will bless our lives and protect us from harm. He is able to provide. "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed." II Cor. 9:8

Answer 4

I agree--if it is financially possible (this means living on a budget!). Children raised by their mom rather than a day care or nanny grow into healthier, more socially adept people. Unfortunately, life is not merely about my happiness. I can't decide to have a baby, and then decide that baby doesn't make me happy--thus I will go pursue happiness elsewhere, and leave this new toy with a day care. I cannot agree with making this decision based on a womans happiness. Statistic show that women who raise their children are happier--though it may not seem that way because of media pushing other agendas (as well as politicians like Pelosi).

Answer 5

I both agree and disagree. I am an independent woman. I have 1 child and have worked all along because I want my freedom. Some women want to stay at home, want to be Mommies'. What ever floats their boats. I want my own paycheck. I want to know that I can depend on myself in the long run, not my husbands money. I want my child knowing that I am able to work and earn a paycheck. It sends a good message to them. My husband and I would have to be very rich for me to stay at home. I enjoy my life and my family life. I am more than a Mom and a wife. I am human.

Answer 6

agree- I am blessed to have what I consider the hardest most rewarding job of all. I am fortunate enough to be able to raise my two children and also home school them. I by all means do not stay home all day though. What with gymnastics, clubs, baseball, scouts, parties, and then all the management of household errands. I think it is best for children to be raised by a parent to grow socially and secure. It also helps the marriage grow because you have more time to be free for your spouse or your own interests. There is also no guilt about never having any time with your kids. You work they go to school they have social activities after school you have chores one day you wake up and they will be going on to college and you will wonder where the h#@$ high school went.

Answer 7

In this day and age most people of both sexes have to work to make ends meet. If a couple is fortunate enough to have children and Mom stay home with them, they should feel blessed. Raising children is the most important job there is. I don't think the woman will ever regret being home to raise her children and be able to participate in every aspect of their lives. I also think that if the woman makes the larger income it's ok for Dad to raise the kids.

Answer 8

Its a personal decision and every situation is different. Theirs various things to determine. 1. Is the money you're going to earn just going to go to the care person? 2. Do you want your child / children being raised by a stranger or someone other than you? You hear so many horror stories these days. Maybe you need to experiment w/ different ideas and see what makes you most happy. Personally I lean towards staying at home. If / when possible.

Answer 9

Women should stay home and take care of the children
if both parties agree and if the woman wants to do other-
wise then she and her husband can discuss it and do
what will make them both happy, as long as the children
benefit from it also.

Answer 10

I dont feel that women should its an option if thay are comfortable with it and everything. I am a stay at home mom and I love it I havent worked in 5 years and enjoyed so much w/our 2 kids and when my husband cant be here I tape it so he can see it.
