Tony Erikson Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 As I said in my first post, if you said a parent should stay at home to raise the child instead of the mother staying at home, I think that then it would be interesting to see where the debate went. Then imagine I did. Or give us a reason why that would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandr Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Staying at home to look after children suits some mums just fine, and I'm happy for them to do that if they wish. I also think it's great for ALL mums to stay at home to look after their babies until they are old enough to hand over to a child-minder or nursery, ensuring that they are breast-fed for long enough to benefit from the antibodies contained in their milk. Great for the babies too. However, for Mums with certain mentally demanding jobs, I think it essential for their well-being and mental health to get back to work after that, even if it's only part-time. Part of them will die if they don't. The alternative is to have a system like those found in the primitive theocratically run (ruined) countries, where women are simply breeding machines, and get no education because they don't need a questioning brain to fulfil the misogynistic hell that awaits them. That's the natural order of things, in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Cant imagine any democratic society that would mandate or pressure womem to stay at home and take care of the kids to "aid the country". I think the last European country to make that compulsory was Nazi Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
