Being a stay-at-home mother is not a job

Well that really depends. I know some stay-at-home women who work more than their husbands do. All the cleaning, cooking, making the house look good, child care (and later on - helping with homework).

If you think that's easy - you are dead wrong. And actually having such a wife feels kinda good if you ask me (I'm not married though). Because coming home to a hot dinner, and not having to worry about stuff like cleaning or washing your clothes yourself is kinda cool.
 
you can get all that for next to nothing and you can send the lazy ass woman to work and bring in money
 
I'm not married; but, if I were, I'd be happy is the wife stayed home, had a job, or did a hobby all day. I have plenty of money so there'd be no need for a working wife - but it would be her choice as to what she wanted to do during the day.
 
I think your confusing someone who sits around all day on their ass snacking, watching soaps and posting on Facebook with a stay at home mom.

Keeping a house clean is hard work, add taking care of child and your talking a FT job with OT.
 
Naturally busybody thinks everyone is as lazy and worthless as he is.

BS.

so what you are saying is a SINGLE/WORKING woman DOESNT take care of her house and doesnt keep it clean

RIGHT?

And kids are in school most of teh day
 
Who wouldn't be jealous of stay-at-home mom's excellent salaries, prospects and status?
 
You have me confused with a religious wacko. You know, like those that found their countries based upon the man-made thoughts of mythical creatures.
 
I once met a DIVORCED woman who

lived in a HUGE HOUSE

had a MAID

claimed she was a PHILANTHROPIST

I said to her

"So you steal your ex husbands money and play the IM A VICTIM yet I give money to charity card.....RIGHT?"
 
one of my friends once actually sat down and written down all the work his wife was doing at the time. He then checked how much would it cost to hire people for the same work for the same hours, and it turned out his wife's hour costs more than his. i.e. if he was to pay her an average salary for whatever work she did at home, he wouldn't be able to afford it.

So yea, if you hire some illegal immigrants, you can probably make it cheaper. But I would much rather not invite them to my house, especially when there are children involved. I would much rather my wife - their mom - watched over them, not some stranger.

Your talk is relevant only when you earn so little that your family can't afford for the wife to stay at home. Then - yes, she'll have to work. But don't mistake people's situations. There are a lot of pros to be found in a stay-at-home wife, if done right.
