No, the "breakdown" is caused by a whole lot more than Mom working outside the home. Dads are lazy, irresponsible, and don't follow through on promises they make.

I think some people would argue this point left and right, but I know first hand. And the answer is in part-yes. Not to mention mom might be working because she absolutely has to - I mean - what do you do then? She hasn't a choice. Then we could begin with the breakdown of homes being due to 'dad' NOT working hard enough to keep mom at home to raise junior for a while and make him a stable, secure, young man - before mom ventures out and starts to become a financial provider as well. It's a struggle I know - and people do what they have to do,but let's face it-- babies need their mother to nurture and mold them as often as possible......at least until they begin all day kindergarten. (why bring these little bundles in the world and be a mother in the first place if you have to pawn them off to someone else during the day to do the job?) I've had to in the past and I wish it could have been different for my 8 yr old daughter. Now that I am married and have 2 little boys (3 & 6mos) ...I have been at home with them while finishing 2 college degrees at night. I'm ready to start my career - in the meantime, my husband will be home with them. We have to be there for our children! plain and simple!

True or not it is a fact of life some mother's as well as some father HAVE TO WORK!
As the saying goes: Need to work, baby needs new shoes!
They need to put clothes on their family's back, food on table and pay bills in order to keep their family a solid unit.
Yes I will agree mother's does most of the housework if not all. That could lead into family augments causing one not to want this to continue and leave the home.
But what are the options?
More family in put, sharing the household duties?
Then when they do come home to do whatever one does to see that their family is fed, loved and all tucked in for the night.
By then you are so bagged out that all they want is sleep not even feeling like making whoopee (love).
That in it's self is almost enough to start an argument all on it's own. (One wanting other to tired)
So to answer your question fairly, it is no more the mom's fault than the dad's fault.
Equal in my eye's. But than again each household, person is different with ones own thinking's ...

No. The simple truth is that two working parents are required to make ends meet for most families. Yes that has contributed to the end problem, but it is not the problem itself. The breakdown of homes is a larger, far more complex issue that has a bit to do with everything in society today. Sex, drugs and violence is sold to kids. Single parent families is rampant. Courts continually rule that no one is responsible for their own actions. War and crime are on the rise. All of the major issues have a bit to do with the redefinition of what a family is and the breakdown of traditional families and family values.

No. If you read a lot of the ?'s on here, you'll see that a working mom in the home. Is no where near the cause of breakdowns in today's society.

There is some truth to this yes. However it usually takes more then just that to breakdown and home and a marriage. It is much better if mom can stay home with the kids if at all possible though. JMHO.

No. The major breakdown in homes is not getting married with commitment and a breakdown of communication.

I believe that it is, to some extent. I know that many men were raised with mothers who stayed home, and thus have a sort of expectation of their house to be the same way - clean, dinner ready when they get home, not have to take care of the kids - and this leads to distorted perceptions of marriage. I also think that it is a factor in that women are taught from a very young age to be everything to everyone, and the added stress of doing that in addition to working causes tension, frustration, and even resentment. So, while it isn't the only reason, it is a major reason, I believe.

No- only if this is something you both don't agree on. The breakdown in homes is poor communication on all issues. You both must discuss whats important to you and your beliefs and then compromise from there. Nothing is impossible - you can't llimit your relationship to society's/cultural rules. Youmust have your own. Its your marriage and only you two can make it work best for your situation. Good luck.

nicely i've got merely ever been a working mom so i'm afraid i won't be in a position to take a glance at the two aspects of the coin like another answerers...and as such, i won't say if one is harder than the different. i understand that i are transforming into myself all worked up over comparable questions interior the previous and the nice and snug button is that each and every has distinctive reward and downsides...and this is going previous merely "that's greater paintings". because of the fact greater significant to me than how bodily stressful it rather is to be a working mom is how emotionally sh!tty it rather is. Do you have any concept what i might provide to have the skill to spend all of my time with my daughter? Going back to paintings whilst she became merely 7 weeks previous became the toughest ingredient i've got ever had to do and not an afternoon is going by making use of that i don't sense massive remorseful approximately and bitterness relating to the undeniable fact that I merely ought to hold a activity suitable now so as to maintain my relatives afloat. It KILLS me. So I start up thinking approximately this and then i'm a hundred% being a SAHM is "much less complicated" and that i won't be in a position to wrap my recommendations around how every physique might disagree...yet i've got on no account been there. on no account performed little youngster video games and made snacks and did laundry and dishes and such all day long. To me it sounds like a trip yet merely because of the fact it is not my actuality. And there are a bunch of alternative emotionally/mentally attempting circumstances once you're a SAHM, including being totally respected by making use of your important different. needless to say no longer ALL SAHMs have arguments with their husbands approximately who contributes what, inspite of the undeniable fact that it rather is a particularly person-friendly criticism of each and every of the SAHMs i understand in my view, which comprise ones right here on Y!A. Anywho, i think of it relies upon on the guy...what's confusing to you isn't inevitably confusing to me and vice versa. there is not any suitable answer.
