Stay at home parent is a bullsh*t occupation

[Angel On The Rag]

bytch better stay at home

op is a fakkit

My mom was stay at home till I started going to school. She hopped up on that job, homie. Guess I was a bit much to deal with

This is true but your argument lacks two main points and this deems you not credible to even address the situation

1. You havent been married
2. You dont have kids.

Thanks for playing

My argument is raising your own kids is your responsibility not a job and it doesn't grant you worthiness of any special recognition for doing something you're supposed to do anyway. In no real way do I discredit stay at homes its still not a job its you quitting the work force to do something you want to do with your life.

you wanna tell me how being single with no kids disqualifies that argument.

It's a sacrifice to be a stay at home parent, you are indeed discrediting it by slighting it the way you are because you 1) don't have any kids and have no idea what it takes to raise one and 2) haven't been married to know what it's like to have that kind of arrangement.

The type to be jealous that their wife is on work leave after having a baby.

"well what you doin around the house all day. Theres only so much work you can do feeding the baby and putting it to sleep"

basically...fakkits.

Where did I ever say parents don't sacrifice to raise kids? You're making arguments against me that I'm not making straw man arguments basically. I didn't profess to be married either.

all I said was a stay at home parent is not working a real job. They quit the workforce to do something else with their life. Raising your kids is not a job its a responsibility and if you choose to quit working to do it so be it but that's not a job and for raising your own kids something you're supposed to do anyway you deserve no special credit.

you and most others aren't even arguing the issues yall are either trying to rationalize that I must be a homosexual or saying I'm shytting on stay at home parents.

wow, you have your own set of issues to deal with if this is what you've come away with from what I typed. I'ma g'head and stop responding to you. What I've posted is simply an alternative viewpoint to you own.. yours is basically "SO SHE A STAY AT HOME MOM!! BIG WHOOP!!" I'm simply saying it's not as peaches and cream as you're making it out to be... because you're not married nor have kids you can easily make that statement.

Now where in there did I type "You sir, are a fakkit"

Being married and having kids is not a universal experience one person's marriage with kids is not the next person's marriage with kids. Being a stay at home is not universally difficult or easy. There are tons of variables involved.

at the end of the day its a parent's responsibility to raise their kids and staying at home full time to do it is still not a job and if you have kids raising them is nothing to be applauded because all you're doing is what you're supposed to.

theres a whole breed of people these days that thing doing basic shyt like having a job or raising kids is something to be applauded. I've had women tell me I'm a good black man because I have my own apartment, car, a full time job, a 4 year college degree and I've never had a run in with the law. To me all that shyt is basic as hell just like actually raising your kids is basic. None of those things listed are really things to be applauded its common shyt.

That stuff is common its just that people are so into stereotypes that they've lowered their expectations to the point that "i take care of my kids" or "i work a job" draws a round of applause. Most of the parents I know take care of their kids and work jobs. How is that is that something that standout?

 

[DemureNatural]

I work a job that I consider to be mentally stressful, however, after a day off with the kids I'm like


Next thing you know I'm like this ready to go back to work.

I don't have children, but after ONE weekend (read: 3 days and 2 nights) with my 4 year old nephew, I'm ready to take him home and thanking the Lord I don't have kids right now.

Love being an auntie, but the bonus is that I can drop him back home!

My god son stays w/us now and he's 5 months old and he doesn't do much of ANYTHING. Even when my cousin watches him while we're at work, she tells us that all they did was chill and watch tv. It's not as hard as some are making it out to be.....

My mother in law is a stay at home mum and she'll tell you the same

I'm not disagreeing with that but everyone's situation is different. I have heard the same thing but I also have a friend who is a stay at home mom of 4 little ones under 3. She has 3 y/o, 20 month old twins and a 5 month old. She has a nanny when she needs to run errands but she does it all. At this point in my life I'd rather be in meetings, etc than do that. (not saying I wouldn't but right now NO)

You should be applauded for doing the right thing because so many people are doing the wrong thing.

This might be true, but it still doesn't classify it as a job.

I have more respect for women who work a job and still come home and take care of their kids. Now that's some real shyt to do.

Most stay home moms give the kids to the dad as soon as he steps thru the door. And if you're a stay home mom, you obviously have another adult in the house helping and supporting you, so um... no, no kudos for that.

Props to the single mothers that work and take care of their kids.
Props to the married mothers that work and take care of their kids.

fukk it, shout out to all women who multitask... work and take care of their kids.

I think actively parenting is the most important job you'll ever have. In my mind, raising a person who gives back as opposed to becoming a drain on society is much more important than anything you do at a 9-5. Granted, I was raised by a mother and father who both worked FT jobs, but we had our grandmother at home when we got home from school to make sure hw, chores, dinner, etc were taken care of. For me, if it came down to being a stay at home mom or a working mother, I'd choose to stay at home (if it were financial possible) until my child went to elementary school. Now this image of a stay at home mother, I believe, varies by individual. You have some very active stay at home mothers/fathers and then you have those who just sit their a$$ on the couch and sit their children in front of the tele...I think stay at home parents have to be creative and engaging in order for their children to be successful. That to me takes the investment of time and planning. That's a job w/o the bi-weekly pay.
RE: Most stay home moms give the kids to the dad as soon as he steps thru the door.
That may be true but I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. Fathers are 50% responsible for their children and once he gets home, he has to play the father role. It's OK for a man to take the children while mom cooks (or whatever). I believe a family is successful when parties work together.
