Imagine the home school rates if women didn’t need to work to make the family budget work.

Young men should strive to earn top 10% incomes so their wife can stay home with the kids.

There are aviation and diesel mechanics making $200K with overtime and $150K without OT. Lots of trades are also useful skills that can allow you to run your own business and make plenty of money to support a family on a single income.

The very first luxury we bought when we started making decent money was my wife’s early retirement. She quit working a few years before we even had a second car.

That's what I do, I believe it's the duty of a Man to provide enough for his family , so his Wife can stay home. It was a lot more prominent in my dad's generation. But men ain't men anymore I guess.

It has nothing to do with hyperinflation, housing up an insane amount and making a fraction of what our grandparents did.....

We outsourced our production and skills.....

Two generations ago you could be washing dishes, and buy an $18000 home.

The boomers are a locust generation that went and ate up all economic prosperity for themselfs and is now harvesting the generations that came after them....

It may be worth thinking before you speak.

Home schooling and functional family would likely fix many of the ills our society is suffering from. It matters not which part of the family fills what role, the lack of widespread decent wages is destroying family.

Let’s go back to this please. My wife has been homeschooling our boys now for 4 years and we haven’t regretted it one bit! We more than survive off my paycheck. #masculinity

Most people hardly make enough to afford to live on two incomes. Besides that, a lot of women don’t want to stay home with the kids.

Your logic doesn’t work in a flawed system

Need citation for mechanics making $200k

I have nothing concrete, just anecdotal. Is it not possible?

Why not have the wife make $300k and the dude raises the kids?

Why does it matter who brings home the bacon so long as the family is secure and everyone is happy?

I guess you can call me old fashioned

Woman biologically are better at raising children. Estrogen allows us extra patience when a baby cries, and since we carry the child we are more tuned into their needs. Men with higher levels of testosterone don't handle high pitch crying as well as a woman. There is nothing wrong with any scenario, but men and woman are built to come together for a reason 🩵 it's not obtainable for everyone. However, cutting out habits makes it more attainable 🙏

Interesting. But I think while people can be biologically/genetically “better” at or predisposed to various things, this in no way sets in stone a persons destiny. Why not seek the balance that works for each individual person or couple?

It goes so much deeper. Predators put themselves in position of power, having a home schooling reduces this risk. Cutting down habits, like smoking and drinking make this more attainable as well !

Why pay someone to take care of your child? Just imagine how much they can get on your nerves, and that's your kid.

I'm very lucky to be a stay at home mom, and am so grateful 🙏 nostr:npub1aqw2s2wfh5mge3vys3q83atscyz7t8vnjtgeeecmh8e5cxkxx0esjrwwgp 🩵
