women who want children should be stay at home mothers

[NotAllThere]

Easy for her to say. Not as if she has to worry about the mortgage.

But we're all contractors, so we can all afford for the little woman to stay at home looking after our spawn.

She is spot on.

If we had continued the traditions of single householder incomes, then house prices would be far more sensible and the kids more stable. Instead we have a situation where couples run off and compete to buy houses that cost more than 5 times their salary, only to then want kids later on and be stuck with dumping their children on childminders and nurseries. Maybe in these times of austerity its time to start telling society that they don't get to have careers and kids, and they need to stick at one or the other and do it properly.

Men who are house husbands are wimps.

Good to see that DA is a modern man in touch with his inner feelings.

I have a lambskin apron...

It's the tutu and fishnets we object to, though ....

Gwyneth is wrong. Certainly one parent should stay at home - but why should it be the mother? Not always possible due to economics.

But as we discuss in the benefits threads - if you can't afford to bring your kids up, don't have them.

I think her opinion is more to do with justifying her own existence than giving us an insight on parenting.

I think you're all missing the silver lining in all this.

No more Gwyneth Paltrow films.
