The best time of my life was being a stay at home mother. Nothing better than an organized household and a delicious dinner at 5pm.

I was a homemaker for 15 years while the kids were growing up. We were not rich. I learned to budget carefully. We celebrated every holiday with homemade decor and when my husband came home at six dinner was on the table. I helped our children with homework, and projects. We played video games together, and they knew they could always come to me with problems. It was NOT a rich life but a good one.

Gentlemen…with the greatest respect (I love both of your shows) - please realise that this is only possible when men behave the way they are meant to. Many women have had that blessing taken away because of the behaviour of fathers and husbands or boyfriends. It’s not always a choice for women

Everytime I had a baby, my body started to feel more broke down. It is physically daunting carrying around a baby for 9 months. Then, we get told we need to get a job to contribute and bounce back from the trauma of delivering. Yes, this happens everyday. I am glad to hear this being talked about because I suffered in silence, believing that this is normal, but now I see it as abuse!

Instead of stuck in traffic, work 9-5 listen to boss deal with bs, I'd rather help my husband, have my own time and take care of my kids. That's independant to me

As a stay at home wife who also talks to a lot of women, I approve of this message 👍🏻.

Cough cough...
Desk job are easier than handling children(especially infant ones).

Why is this even a debate? Why can’t women just decide what they want to do?

I used to work in day care. When fathers came to pick up their kids they never looked at me with jealousy or contempt. This was just something they did on the way home. The mothers were different, if they wanted to spend time with their kids they couldn't look at me without some measure of jealousy, any sign their kids liked me was treated like an act of betrayal on my part like I was some contemptable worm stealing the affections of their child. If they didn't like spending time with their kids it was much the same, only more awkward. Instead of being jealous of the time I spent with their kid they would be jealous that I had kid-free evenings and would often make comments to that effect. I hated it. Some mothers gave me the positive creeps, like they were looking for an excuse to pull their kids out and wouldn't hesitate to fabricate some reason that would end up destroying my reputation & maybe worse. I ended up closing my business. I hear legislators talking about how we need more child care. No, we need more stay at home mothers. Society is falling apart because woman feel compelled to work out of the home and the jealousy is eating their hearts out, turning them into miserable, nasty people.

By staying at home with no financial independency, you are exposing your self from being ruined by your husband who can abuse you and cheat. You always need the financial freedom. This is why so many women decided to go work.

I love that I am so blessed to be a stay at home mother! But most underestimate the value and extremely hard work mentally physically, spiritually and emotionally but it is also the most beneficial and blessed position to be able to experience this in my life. I love my husband and his drive and ability to provide for our family. We must also praise the fathers who work until their knuckles bleed to provide us the opportunity to raise our children and not paying people to do the job of mothering❤

When I left work after the birth of my first child, many women there expressed this wish to me. I'm sure it's not universal, but definitely widespread.

Women are allowed to have interests outside the home.... We're not just robots who are ordered to do whatever our husbands tell us

I don't know why it's such a debate. I mean even if most women want to stay at home, not all of them do and if we just stop questioning them and just say "ok you want to do this, fine" there would be no problem.

Not enough credit has EVER been given to women's contributions imo.

Most households can't afford not to have two incomes anymore, especially here in Australia
