people feel differently about working, opinions can vary and no one opinion is RIGHT or WRONG. i am a lawyer. i worked part time while my kids were young, while my best friend— another lawyer— stayed home and watched mine along with her’s. i feel it was the optimum situation for both of us. she needed the money to help make ends meet at her house, and my kids had their godmother and her kids to play with for a few hours 3 days per week. i don’t judge others and what they choose to do, because everyone’s situation is different.
“. i don’t judge others and what they choose to do, because everyone’s situation is different.”
Of course we judge, we judge by the end result. Many parents offload parenting to day care or the TV. Thats wrong.
As a society that hurts us as it leads to a lot of the problems we have. Poorly educated kids, high teenage pregnancy rates, higher crime rates, an increase in broken families as a whole.
A strong family will solve a lot of problems before they occur. If both parents work it doesn’t make you a bad parent. It does make it much tougher to be a good parent.
