You never had kids

Quote From: karmour

The only person that has a realistic take on this is Diana - she understands that no home can function properly without the woman staying at home. Her husband earns the money and she runs the empire at home - one of the most noble and probably satisfying things someone can do. Who wants to work all day, leave your children, be stressed out and come home and have to take care of the family? You are a very very lucky woman Diana and I think you know it!! I am 30 & single and have a very satisfying career. I would give it up in a second to have a loving family and stay at home and take care of everyone! I would even wear hot stilettos everyday if that's what it takes!

ps-who ever said that the kitchen is a prison??? 

  

 Be careful what you wish for...you may just get it.

Well, like all things in life, it's all about the money.  If you can't afford to feed the kids, you've got to work along side the husband out in the cold, cruel world.  Sorry.  It's not like Leave it to Beaver in 2005 in America.  It's dog-eat-dog & you've got to feed your pack and make a home for them in ways June Cleaver never would have imagined.  It's not easy to parent these days.  Hats off to anyone who's trying it.  If your mate earns enough money so you can afford to stay home, that's awesome.  But most wives and mothers have to work outside of the home, too.  So let's not get too critical of them.  They are doing what it takes to cover the basics in this economy.  It's not perfect, but nothing in life is.
