Children raised by stay-at-home moms and intact families were better off than most children today. Most women do not go to work today because they want to. They go to work because that is the only way the bills get paid. And the ones losing are the children and society.
The most important job in the world has always been raising the next generation and giving them guidance.
Another way things are better in America is, companies are also no longer allowed to discriminate on the basis of race or disabilities that don’t affect job performance.
How can we move forward to an america where families of four can do well with only one parent working, and one staying at home while the kids are school aged?
We did it in the 50s, 60s, into the 70s…should we emulate the policies that allowed that to happen?
I know plenty of families with both parents working - many with the mom making significantly more than the dad - who also were completely present for their kid’s upbringing.
