raising a baby to a good contributing person in 18 years is best left for part time parents?

more time spent with baby?
If you can afford it, she/he can stay home, and spend more time nurturing the baby.

No. You're an a$$hole and none of you nikkas will ever have meaningful relationships because you're misogynistic pieces of shyt.
That said, unless the kids weren't school-age yet, I don't know if I would want a housewife/stay-at-home mom. I tend to be very busy with work/school, so there might be be times when she won't see or hear from me for a few days. So I'd rather have a girl who had her own shyt going on so that wouldn't be a problem for her. Then I don't have to deal with any issues of her feeling neglected, her thinking I'm cheating on her, or her getting gangbanged by the whole neighborhood while I'm at work.

Yall young nikkaz hustlin backwards.
kids that age basically take care of themselves, all you do is feed em and put em to sleep. just lay em on their belly and walk away. there brains arent fully developed so they wont remember being neglected.

The most bullshyt article I've ever heard about going viral is the "True Salary a Mom is Worth" piece. What it does is that it takes about 15 different professions that are tangentially related to motherhood and says that a mother performs these tasks as a full-time job. Among these jobs include things such as:
This implies two things: The first of which is that the mom in question is actually doing all of the things that the article mentions, and the second of which is that said mother is doing all of these things with the same level of skill and expertise that all of these professionals would have.
Being a mom doesn't grant you special power (besides breastfeeding) and it really shouldn't grant all of the special societal privileges and adulation that moms somehow get. I know that there is a lot of attachment to your kids and that there are a lot of strong feelings about it, but feelings shouldn't trump logic in the real world and to aspire to be a "stay at home mom" means that you either condone it if men want to opt to do that, too, or that you simply want to be some sort of leech on a rich man for the rest of your life while you post those stupid ass ecards on Facebook all day.
People throw the term around a LOT. Let's face it though, it's really not that hard of a job. Even if you're really committed to it you'll put some face time in at school, but that's about where it ends. Nowhere near the intensity of work that men have had to do in the past and are still expected to do today. It's the same reason you see women clogging human resources departments or avoiding really hard blue collar labor if possible. There are exceptions, but you all know what I'm talking about.
I can't stand that it's so revered to be a stay at home mom. It's one of the few things that if criticized as not being a real job, people get in your grill about it. Again, with the feelings.

Its good to know that if the kids get in trouble in school, someone is available to go handle that.
Also, while you don't have errands to run everyday, depending on how much work the husband is doing, someone needs to make sure all the family planning stuff is getting handled. There's plenty of little ticky tack stuff that needs to get done, and can't by someone who is working through the hours of 7-5/6.
But i would prefer my wife to be working as well. I'd actually like her to be making more than me, that'd be cool, especially since that would mean she'd have some career that she probably went to grad school for.
