And Hubby gets no time with his kids. Gee, that's fair. And, what's even more ridiculous are the women out there that have husbands willing to bust ass to make the rent so she can stay home with the kids (I know, playgroup, talking on the phone to Mom, sister, girlfriends, going to park, etc is soooooo hard) who then want to either split the household stuff 50/50 or complain that he is never home....

Now...my wife is a stay-at-home moom and I know that she works harder than I do. BUT...as I pointed out to her the other day...I don't have the ability at my job to say 'Well, there's not much going on this minute, think that I'll take a nap'. She makes up in flexibility some of what she gives up in work.

Also, I Like your tagline.

As I have said before I wrote what I did because it seemed her husband did not realize that stay at home moms contribute a lot to a household. That if he was to place a value on the services and care she provides it would add up to quite a tidy sum. It is he that seems to think the only important work results in a paycheck.

As for never seeing his kids. I never said he should not see his kids. I just said that he could work some overtime. But from the article it does not sound like the family is suffering financial hardship.

I still think the best persons to rear a child is his or her parens. In infancy the parent best suited for that happens to be mom.
