The bottom line is we trivialize motherhood. We somehow think it is more valuable to make money for someone else than to use our creativity to strengthen the next generation. What happened to “She who rocks the cradle rules the world” People, our children, our learning only that consumption is the highest goal, no ethics or right or wrong and we are ending up with the ? Lack of focus generation.

Professional moms are working from home and taking care of their kids, savings tons on daycare, its actually better now. The women that are suffering are the ones in restaurant/bar and retail industry.

Honestly we should always live in a time frame that it should be based off of one person salary and not both to have an income for the house just in case something happens to one the other one can go out and work.

Me that’s what I told my job and the said they will just replace me it’s crazy that they can’t just understand that we are not being paid stay home

Okay Women what else can Society do for you? how are you being suppressed now?? What a sad story :(

[konaboyz]

Wow this is really something. Especially when I saw a guy come out of a store in a wheelchair with no arms or legs!!!

Well this was a very thorough analysis... not. First off, if your career is more important than you're family that's a problem. Sadly it seems people are so work obsessed these days and not even for the money. Second, a parent at home saves the money they would be spending on day care that they would just be working to pay for, for some maybe not all. Third, how many of those women are married, in the video it only said one had a husband what about the others...so incomplete data as usual from the MSM. And this is subjective but losing intellectual value at home...no you losing monetary value and that hurts more. For single PARENTS not just mothers because I though we are supposed to care about everyone I am sure this is a tough time no arguments there.

[williamfrance]

They're right where they're supposed to be, at home taking care of the children's not out competing with men. That is the ordination of God.

If you are a smart woman, you would have married a good guy, with a good job, with insurance.
