49. There is a trend of more mothers (and some fathers) staying home and no one should
Edited on Thu Apr-22-10 12:08 PM by izzybeans
be made to feel guilty for their choice. Some people love their children more than their jobs. If my wife and I could afford it, one of us would stay home. We just can't. My brother-in-law just quit his job so that he could be home with my niece and nephew. Is he less of a man? His wife is an executive and he had a crap job.

Now he volunteers with his kids' school, trains for triathlons, and takes the kids to all sorts of extracurricular activities. I envy his life.

Work is not liberating, despite what the Nazi slogan said.
