Oh, Pleeeze. I have parenting experience. Not daddy goes to work type experience, but vomit and doctors office and making lunch and doing laundry and a costume type experience. And it ain’t a full time job unless you have diminished capacity or are trying to re-invent the wheel. There are a couple of years when little children benefit from a parent who takes full charge of their needs. But its still not a full time job unless you want the children to grow up to be needy liberals who expect the fork to magically appear in front of their mouths whenever they are hungry.
So if you don’t think that women should stay home to care for their own children and be full-time moms,what’s your suggestion for child care? I mean, you don’t think it’s a full time job, but kids are certainly awake and in need of feeding, instruction, more feeding, diaper-changing, supervision, and carting around for 16 hours a day, so who do you propose does this work? Are you suggesting that we all consign our children to the care of daycare workers and alien nannies while we are out conquering the world or otherwise busying ourselves? I am serious here. The math doesn’t add up so I’d really like to know how you think a mother’s time should be apportioned and who is supposed to take care of the kids if she is devoting only part time to this work.
