Not really. It's all about choices. I don't think I would have respected my mom more if she was a working mom or I respect her less because she stayed at home. At the end of the day, in most cases, it's a joint decision of both parents whether the mom should work or stay at home but one can't really put one set of mothers over or under the other set.

they can bring up kids better...

That's pure myth. Kids don't turn out better just by having a parent by their side 24/7. More time doesn't always translate into better parenting.

no by division of labor it would be 138000/2 unless you are working for lehmann brothers...😆

Oh....and why can't they divide up the all the responsibiliteis equally if they both happen to be working too? Trust me you - "division of responsibilty" will ensure kids are properly looked after😊 It also ensures happy more close knit families where kids are equally comfortable with both parents. All it needs is a changed mindset of the male partner. A lot of them have changed and more will change as and when their time comes. If they refuse to change - well, then the choice again falls on the woman and most woman, based on my experience, choose to work extra hard to do full justice to their dual roles😊

this things not about certainty.. its about higher probablity.. unless you wish to stay at home and neglect children to watch judge mathis over and over again..

...and we all know very well these kind of stay at home parents are not that uncommon either😉

if you have more time at hand chances are you would put that love for kids for their betterment and this is proven.....Its all about time..

...not really. It's not all about time. It's more about 'will". When there's a will, there's a way😊

and american hypocrites jumped in with their "quality time" crap to justify working parents.. i mean this country has everything.. well covered....

Quality time applies as much to stay at home parent as to a working parent and it is not a crap. Time management is as important to a stay at home parent as to a working parent. If one has the will to raise their kids to be emotionally secure and well rounded socially responsible adults - they will find a way and the time to do so. You are stuck up on the wrong factor in this entire equation, bud😆

Money and time are not the main factors here. If the will is lacking, no matter how much of moolah or time one has, they will somehow find a sure shot way to simply screw up their kids😆
