You want to see what triggers FReepers? Watch what happens when I say this:
Why was he taking the kids to day care in the first place? Why didn't one of the parents, preferably the mom, stay home and raise them?
I won't "slam" you but I *will* point out that it takes a ton of $$$ today to run a household that enjoys a "comfortable" (but far from "wealthy") life.
I agree with you.
“Why was he taking the kids to day care in the first place? Why didn’t one of the parents, preferably the mom, stay home and raise them?“
I moved out of NY when real estate prices started soaring. I was paying 28% tax rate if IRC.
We live in a little house good neighborhood married a good provider.
Would not dream of, can’t imagine not staying home with kids. One year old kids look for their moms all day long. When they don’t find her on a chronic basis the grow up to be robotic silly incapable emotionally dysfunctional people. Otherwise known as snowflakes
The mother is not off the hook
I think yours is an excellent reply.
It's much better for children to have full-time parental supervision. There's no question about it.
Sadly, its the materialist left and feminists who have shamed mothers who do this. Truly responsible men want their wives at home to raise a healthy family, but most intelligent women now (those who also make the best mothers) have been told their whole lives that if they don't go out and act like men in society, they are oppressed, stupid and weak. It causes great cognitive dissonance.
My wife is extremely smart and highly educated. She was on a very fast corporate track because she is highly intelligent, and filled the "female senior manager" diversity box for her company's HR dept. She admits it too - she says she was given more a few more opportunities than men, simply because she was a capable woman.
She instead decided it was absolutely necessary to stay home with our children. Moreover, we both realized a corporation could dump her at any time also. Your family will always be there.
He and his wife probably made that decision together.
But I agree that daycare is a factor. Tragedies can happen at home, too. But, if one parent is always home, at least then the babies won't be forgotten somewhere. Maybe forgotten in the house, but not in a hot car.
