I don't speak for you or anyone else, but *I* did it for the good of my family, and society in general and ony *lastly* myself.

I enjoyed working. I made a good salary, more (at the time) than my husband, and I liked the independance and financial security.

I think children are better off and society is better off if the mother stays home to care for her children. I even chose homeschooling because that's better for my child and for society

I agree with you about motherhood being important to how society functions... but, my point was that I do not need a reward from society. My husband and children are reward enough. I do hope, that by staying at home, that my children will benefit and become wonderful young people, able to prosper in the world. I just an not willing to stake claim to how much I influenced the greater society as a whole, when they are still really young and I have much work to do.

But why "choose" me to support you? I had nothing to do with your decision. This is absolutely the same thing as Reparations for being black. No difference. It is taking money from workers and redistributing it to non workers.
