Women should not be working and having kids?

I think as a woman I would rather not be working and instead taking care of my kids. The only reason why I would stop working is because work is tiring and takes away so much life. The only thing that makes me stop doing so is the fact that once you work, then resign, a part of you will feel that your social life is at minimum since you will be only interacting with your children, family and close friends you managed to keep. Also that work gives you that satisfying feeling of importance (for me it does because I'm a one-man team in a very needed hectic position) and my family usually calls me stupid while at work I'm seen as a genius, this gives me some self-confidence that I much need.

I don't believe a woman should not be working because she's given that statement, but rather of her own preference. I think the woman should not envy the man for working while she doesn't, because working is actually very hectic, I would feel bad for the man.

If someone tells you to drop work because 'your a woman', then that is stupid and sexist. If someone tells you to drop work because they tell you that you may relax and leave your money concerns to them, then that reason is justifiable.

It's not all about personal choice. Life is expensive, so many women who would have chosen to stay at home whilst caring for young children, have been forced to do paid work outside the home. Alternatively women who want to contribute to the families purse, will take on work that fits around school hours and holidays. People who fought for equality have made it easier for men and women to share parenting and earning a living wage, together.

It's seriously unfair, because that doesn't mean we're women and are less stronger than men, we already cannot do anything more than having kids. It should only depend on the decision of every woman if they wanted to work or only focus on their kids. People should not have that permanent assumption that it's always men who would do stuffs.

Whatever works for both people.Everyone has different skills in a relationship.Know what they are and utilise to the benefit of both of you.Having children is a serious commitment that involves maturity and understanding of the responsibilities that go with serving the needs of child development.Both people need to understand this before even thinking about having children.

Asking a woman not to work for 18 years and to rarely have an excuse to leave the house, is too much for me. After those eighteen years, you're damn near unemployable. My husband and I take turns.

Umm...it depends. If a woman chooses to be a spinster, then she should work. But the problem comes when she is married. Mother is a faaaaaaar greater parent than a father. Therefore, she should be the one who should take care of her children more than a father. We can't deny that love of a mother is higher than even love of God.

As an assumption, it's stupid, and unfair to both men and women who shouldn't be forced into ridiculous categories based on their genitalia.

As a choice, it's perfectly fine. If the man earns more than his wife, it's a fair choice between the couple that he would be the one who keeps his job while she raises the children. The reverse is equally palatable.

If that's what the couple wants, it's their decision. It would drive me crazy, personally.

Stupid. Babies are crap conversationalists & are so stingy - I wouldn't want to put up with one all day every day.

A better world.
