As long as there’s focus on the long-term wellbeing of the kids.

Oh yeah, and another thing, you seem to think men are just sperm donors, well, get rid of that thought too because modern day husbands and fathers are not like you (thank goodness) they, for the most part believe in being fully involved in the home and family. There is only one thing my husband can’t do in the home and with our family, and that is breastfeed our babies. He does every other thing and in fact, is a WAY better cook than I am and if I had my way he would do all the cooking. As it is, he does about half. Oh he also does “housewifely things” such as vacuuming, changing diapers, laundry, other sorts of cleaning, etc etc. And he doesn’t expect me to be a Fascinating Womanhood clone when he gets home from work, either. This is why women have lost all there respect and power for 37 years now. They demand more rights than they should, which brought them down to the same level as men. Women have it already made to have people bow down to them and respect them alot. Since 1970, they have derailed all that power and respect among themselves to just leave there kids left alone by going to work just the same as the husbund. Go back to the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and 1960s ok...when a women entered the room as a guest, everyone would standup and bow down to her as a sign of good respects being the lady she was to stay at home and wear an apron. Its not like that anymore if you take one good look around you, noone standsup for women anymore than they used to when a women enters the room. Back in the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and 1960s society knew all about good family values, women back then knew where there places was which decends back to the puritans. America was broughtup under good Christian moral values, if the pilgrims and purirtans were around today to see how women have changed there standards, they would be rolling over there graves. The Catholic church believes that a married women with kids who enters the workworld is the devils work and should not be accepted. This kind of thing has degraded all women who chose to leave there responsibilitys behind just so they can have there freedom and be like others. When your raising kids, there mother should be right by them to dress them for school, prepare them breakfast and drive them to school. Kids nowadays come home to either an empty house with no mother and father around or come home to an institution full of unloving strangers, and thats whats wrong with our upside down civilization]]> Mary Siever said: So Sean, you are going to go out and support your family and your wife is going to cater to all your little whims and be your doormat? You might want to make sure you can support your family properly.

I am all in support of staying at home (I do so myself). But I would never consider myelf or any woman “dishonourable” (please start checking your spelling and grammar. Again, “there” and ” their” are two different terms entirely) or a disgrace if she chooses to, or needs to work outside the home.

Women do NOT want to be men. Good grief what an inane accusation. I am quite happy being a woman THANK YOU VERY MUCH. And as you are continually reminded, we are not in the dark ages. Get with the programme. Move into the future and leave your archaic notions in the past where they belong. My only consolation is that in this day and age you are unlikely to find a woman who will share your beliefs and thus, the likelihood of you perpetuating these ridiculous notions will hopefully stop with you.

No one is talking about putting their children on hold or not loving their children. Grow up and stop judging and please follow my advice…”It’s better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt”.

What about homes where child-care is shared between the two parents? How do you reconile that with your “discrace and dishonerable” woman theory? As far as the capability of women to work outside the home is concerned, there IS no difference between men and women, sean. It’s the year 2007, my word. I'm just saying Rick, that its the mans job to go to work and to bring home the money. If the husbund chooses to stay at home while the wife goes to work, then it shows the husbund is not there to take care of his own wife. Classy upscale people with kids dont send there kids to daycare, child daycare services is a waste of money, and not only that, why would you wanna leave your kids in the hands of strangers??. These child daycare providers dont really love those abandoned kids, they are in it for the money to watch those kids but not to love them]]> rick said: “When a women becomes pregnant”

…and that happens in a vacuum? Where’s the Dad?

While those women who choose to have a career are dishonourable and disrespectful, right?

“Married women need to stay at home to be housewives to take care of the house and dress there [sic] kids for school as a sign of love and good motherhood”

While those who have the fathers do those duties do NOT love their children and are NOT good mothers, right?

Sean, are you sure you are not some sort of transplant from the fifties?

Perhaps you were frozen and thawed out when the millenium came. It might explain the poor spelling and sentence structure…”

Rick…i’m saying that if a married women for example who has children to raise, but chooses to have a career like going to college and having a job, it shows she is a discrace and dishonerable. Plus it shows that they are selfish to just let there career like college and jobs come first before raising there children. You cannot put your children on hold just so you can enter the workforce and go to college. When a women becomes pregnant, she needs to take responsibilitys for her own actions to take care of those kids, love those kids and be right there everyminute with those kids. Its really not so much of an issue that women want to work because i can think of so much work that stay-at-home housewives can do. What this all really boils down to is that women want to be the same as men which to me is down right wacky and bull****.
