I don't know if I agree with that. If I was able to buck tradition and stay home with my children for 13 1/2 years, I'm not going to feel a whole lot of sympathy for any woman who thinks SHE feels pressured to put her kids in daycare and get a job.
And the same goes for sex before marriage. There is as much pressure to have sex before marriage today as there was pressure not to have sex before marriage years ago.
Can't disagree there. To be honest, I'm conflicted on this issue. I'm very torn on what I know I should believe as a Christian, and what I truly believe in my heart of hearts.
Not everyone is as mentally strong as you are, Melas. Nor do they understand the way you do, the importance of someone being home for the children.
The societal pressure for mothers to work and/or have careers is as strong today as the societal pressure for mothers to stay home was years ago.
