Wow! You hope that poster doesn’t have children? because they are amazed that people have no plans to share the financial burden in the family and they don’t know any sahm?
Why, exactly, do you hope they don’t have children?
You do realise working parents are in fact raising their children? or Do you consider sahp whose children are in school to not be raising their children?
and how are you defining what’s ’more important’. My company is full of working parents. One of our main roles is to make sure hospitals remain safe and open.
Pretty sure you would want the hospital to be open and safe if your child needed medical help. Then there’s the medical staff. Many of who are parents . If your partner/spouse/ child had a medical emergency where would you rank their job in importance.
If your loved one was very sick in hospital and a load of staff decided staying home with their children was more important, risking your loved one’s health, where in your own personal importance scale would that come?
What’s the most important to someone, personally, is constantly changing. There is no ‘most important’.
and let’s be honest having a sahm is not guarantee of having a good parent. Just like having a working parent is not a guarantee of it. What’s more important is having a good parent that cares for and supports their children. Regardless of employment status.
The poster didn’t say there was no value in being a sahp. Even if they did, surely it only matters if your partner/ spouse and children value it. Why would others need to recognise your own value within your family?
This thread was about working parents and whether they would have preferred to be sahp. It’s not about sahp at all. Yet many have managed to wander in to tell everyone how they love being a sahp. It’s great people enjoy it. Not relevant to the thread though. Then those parents are getting offended because people don’t seem to be reacting the way they want and telling people they hope they don’t have kids?
it makes no sense.
