Meh... I think both parents have a responsibility to be with their kids, you can't just have the mother around the whole time becuase a very high percentage of convicted felans grew up without their fathers around so both play a very big role in the development of a child's psycey(sp?). So I think both should find the adequate amount of leisure time to spend with their kids and not just the mother should be glued to them all the time.

Women have the right to live their lives like men do, if a women wants to work, so be it. We live in other times, when children can take an example from their hard working parents, there are also family times, when children can share with their parents. Also we have schools, which are supposed to teach us values, and responsabilities. a parent work is to help children build a good judgement, to have values, and to difference the right from the wrong, it's up to the child to decide wether they will follow a good lead or not. after all for some reason free will exists. people choose what to do with their lives and must asume the consecuences of their actions. people can't tell other people how to live their lifes.
omg... i sound like a parent :S hehe ^_^

Mother's should not be binded to thier home just for the sake of thier children. Unless she enjoys it. But aside that, I think its wrong.

Its unlikely a child will develop a sense of independance in that environment. I think highly of this factor.

True but in the end we must look at the what has happened in the past so that we can make better decisions for the future and to my knowledge is has all to do with the cost of living and the standard of living u and your Family wanna have.
The decision stays with the two parents there is no way in Hell that anybody can dictate what should and what should not happen .
Both parents should be supportive in the area of kids and leaving them with Grandma or the nanny is not good either.The big problem is as i said in the beginning cost of living in a desent neighborhood,one or more holidays a year,fashionable clothes,eat out dinners,school camps and all those things that eat up your money like NIKE
So if u have enough money and the Wife does not need to work then she can stay with the kids but when money is tight u have to make a plan.

The only time u will understand this kind of pressure is when u have your own kids....

^_^ So... a type who just wasn't loved by their mommy enough is going to talk to the whole world for everyone else...

._. Let me just state this...

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER MALE OR FEMALE, A CHILD NEEDS LOVE!

^_^ A man can cook at the house, a man can clean.
For crying out loud, if Abu Dhabi really wanted to pursue a dream, I'd drop a CEO position and be a house-man.

... but that is "if she really wanted to"... because I know she has a gigantic insecurity of "what if the kids love daddy more?" ...

... and seeing that I've always wanted to be a father more than any career since I was in the 4th grade, I'm not going to deny that I'll love and care for my... scratch that, OUR children, in the best way possible.

However, I'm no dummy, I'll raise our children in a way that most parents forget to raise their own children as: a human being.

.-. Trust me, most people treat their children like pets. And I really am not kidding. AT ALL.

^_^ It doesn't matter on gender. Sure, mankind has been used to the good ol' 50's wife since maybe the dawn of time... but that doesn't mean that she has to stay that way.

A woman should care for the man, and a man should care for the woman.
A man should appreciate, not expect the work a woman usually gives for him.
And the same should go for the women, they should appreciate the work the man gives for the family.

But does that mean the roles can't change?
... of course not.

Is it recommended?
Well, not really.

We're so used to everything, that it's rare (less than 10% chance rare, is what I'm talking about) to find a man who is willing (or even capable) to take on that role!

... HOWEVER! I do not recommend that BOTH pursue their "dreams" in the outside world.

A CHILD NEEDS LOVE. Just as every human being does.

Without it... well...

they tend to get ugly in a horrible way...

as we see it now... *stares at Mr. K* ............. XD JK!

^_^ So those are my two shoes.

i don't care who stays home with kids, but if you don't want your kids to be bad than moms should stay home with kids, mostly beacuse guys curse lots more and aren't as gentle with kids and stuff. personaly i wouldn't mind staying home with kids, becasue its better than working
