92. Let me ask you a few things?
Do you have two cars? How many TVs do you have? Computers? How much is you house worth? Do you go on vacations? How do you know it's best for a woman to stay home and raise a child? My mom worked off and on while I was growing up and I didn't turn out to be a scrouge of society....How long do you want to stay home to raise this child? Would you go back to work once they are in school? Or do you want to be there when they get home from school until they graduate?

Now before you jump down my throat........parenting is about making sacrifices. Want to stay home? Dump the 2nd car, get rid of that tv in the bedroom, nix Jr's gameboy, go on a camping trip for vacation instead of DisneyWorld.......go work part time while little Mary is in school and then be there with cookies when she gets home. No one ever said it would be easy..........but you chose to have children.........I chose not to so I could lead a different lifestyle. Already I pay to help support your child with School taxes......that's a necessary give back to society IMHO.......paying you to stay home and maintain your 2 car, 3 or 4 BR ranch in the suburbs with yearly vacations while Mary & Jr grow up is not a necessary part of the equation.
