The opening sentence in this USA Today story claims there’s a “debate over which sort of parenting is better for a child: a mother at home or on the job.”
There’s a debate about that? Among reporters, perhaps. Nobody else argues whether a mother is a better parent than a 19 year old bulk babysitter. Nobody, outside of radical feminists. The story is dishonest from the beginning.
The next sentence: The latest salvo: a book by Leslie Bennetts, The Feminine Mistake, which posits that mothers assume too much of a financial and career risk if they stay at home to raise the kids.
Obviously, that has nothing to do with what is “better for a child.” Clearly, the issue is self.
Imagine the foolish mother who puts her children above herself.
Note to the feminists: It doesn’t start with deciding to have a job. Having a child damages your body, your finances, your time, your sleep and your love life. Yet most women eventually desire children above all else. And that is a great thing. We’re forced as parents to put the welfare of someone else above ourselves. It was meant to be.
Feminists hate this.
Granted, some mothers are forced into the workplace. There are plenty of exceptions for various reasons.
USA Today declares there’s “no right or wrong answer.”
The mere suggestion is a slap in the face to the millions of mothers who have put raising their kids above personal gain.
