The news this morning said in the South side of Chicago, 70% of black children live with a single stay at home parent but I guess that is irrelevant to these experts.
That can’t be right, liberal moms don’t work [/sarc, FU “Media Matters” if you’re reading this].
My new career was volunteering at their school pretty much daily. I loved it! (as each of my kids turned 24 they admitted they loved it too. LOL!)
Women should really take a good look at the cost of working. Taxes on their salaries, day care, gas costs, wear and tear on the car, work wardrobe, eating out or frozen dinner in a box, etc. all add up to a chunk of change. I was shocked how much money we saved, especially by cooking from scratch. Is it really worth warehousing your kids for a few bucks an hour?
Another thing to think about for young parents... A special-ed teacher recently told me that studies are showing the more screen time the little ones have, the lower the I.Q. scores. Used to see parents bring their kidlet's to my office with books, crayons and paper. Now their youngins have their faces glued to a screen.
And we think today's snowflakes are bad? We ain't seen nothing yet.
IMHO, this article is correct and very important. I was lucky enough to have a stay at home Mom while I was small and it meant stability and security as I navigated those first few years. Motherhood is the Most Important Job there is, along with Fatherhood.
