It’s obviously hard work, and one of the most important jobs...raising the next generation of Americans. Feminists made it seem as if it were slavery or subjugation.
This has been my experience now. Every interview. Why do so many not value raising kids? We were fortunate in that we lived very frugaly (very few vacations, or extras) so that one of us could stay home with the kids. That was decided and he had the job, I was in grad school. I decided after our first was born, that no way could I turn him over to someone else to feed and nurture. Now, by those I am getting interviewed by, I’m asked that question like I am a freak for taking care of my own kids and neighbors kids.
