Birdgirl - When my wife fell into a major post partum depression that included hitting my kids, I became a stay at home dad for my three young kids. I am proud of the job I did and it was a difficult but very rewarding time for me. I also worked full time nights to provide for them. It was something that needed to be done and I did it. Where did I learn these values? My parents. Mom was a stay at home mom untill the youngest went off to elementry school. I believe that the family unity and it's decline is at the root of most of societies problems now. i feel the crises in families today is due to economic issues that is a direct result of women entering the work force. I believe they entered the work force as a direct result of feminisim which began with the fight for voting rights.
I appologize to anyone I have offended and I am quite cognisant of the fact that the barn door will never be closed again. Thank you all for listening with open minds.
Peace.

That is completely true. The statistics ARE there. A family with a working father and a stay at home mother is much more likely to produce a successful and hard working child.

The problem is, although I may not agree with your opinion to such a radical degree, it is impossible to convince most people, women mainly of course, that this is the case as it is now "fashionable" to take offence when this topic is even lightly glossed over.

What a lot of women don't seem to understand is that it is in the males nature, GENETIC LINEUP, to look after and to provide for his family. It is accepted to say to a man "why are you not providing for your family" but not acceptable to say to a women "why are you not careing for your family".
