Why doesn't anyone ever mention Stay at Home Dads when topics like marriage, family planning, and career women come up? Why not encourage career women to consider the Stay at Home Dads when looking for a man? Why not encourage more of the men to be a useful stay at home parent? Homemaker's need to be skilled in a lot of things that don't require a college education. Basic Plumbing, basic electrical work, basic home economics, basic automotive maintenance. And they need to learn cooking and cleaning and take care of the kids, too. It's challenging. I'm a stay at home mom. I say this all the time. If someone has to waste away in a factory, it should be me, not my husband. The entire community I live in would have benefited if it was Mike that was the homemaker and I was the one wasting away in a factory. When will people wake up and see this obvious reality sitting right in front of them?
