Rez, your debates about the union and such are mildly entertaining,
And I find your replies on the topic self defeating and of resignation, but that is another thread..
but in this topic, you're way out of your league.
Not sure if you know the qualifications to be a member of society and to be a parent. Do you have a qualifications fact sheet?
You're pushing your opinion as a universal fact and speaking of something you know nothing about.
Does the above translate to: "I don't agree with you" or do I really don't know what I am talking about?
I could be wrong but it seems the womens journey from the 1950s to today hasn't reached the destination.
I am not the one in the 'mom, wife, work' quandry but I am the bad guy for recognizing it?
You are not a woman, and never will be.
Never say never.
Stop telling women what their place in society ought to be.
Respectfully I think they are still trying to find it.
If I find a genie lamp on the beach I'm going to use one of my wishes on you, and you can report back to us on how you like it. Then we'll all get a big laugh at your expense and tell you to deal with it because that's your place in society.
John, mega and FlyUAL just can't seem to debate the issue so you go for personal tactics.
I've told you before to quote each part of the post and address the issue. You guys are reading the post then attaching to your perception of it and then replying to your perception. Stick to the issue...
So in YOUR mind (there is no proof) the ability to take care of an infant has only one (ok, two) reasons.......breasts?!? You must be kidding me.
Again...quote my post so you can debate... here is what I said...
Do you want to debate a womens use of oxytocin and breast milk vs a man ability? Yes there is formula, breast pumping, etc... Call me every/any name in the book, I just think a woman can breast feed better than a man.
Going out on a limb here, but your kids weren't bottle fed, were they?
She did initially but the little one had digestive problems so we went to formula. But I think Breast milk is best. (I hope that is ok)
Did you BF or bottle?
What you have missed from every poster here is that no one is saying it's great to leave the children with strangers to go work when money isn't a factor. We are talking about women who want to go on a couple of trips a month and have stated that they will work opposite schedules with their husbands, if need be.
You had the luxury of having allot of control over your schedule. Aside from flying.. even the dual 9 to 5 career incomes is tough on kids.
Do you believe that the men of this world are such lousy caretakers that their children will be harmed for a lifetime over spending the weekend with Dad?
Not sure where you got this...obviously your perception of what I said seems to control your debate, since you won't quote my post. in fact I said if Mr. Mom works for families then great... I know my kids like it better when we are all together.. and thier behavior gets difficult when I leave on a trip.
No wonder your wife stays home, I would too. You likely to hurt one of them if she even goes to the grocery store alone.
Funny, I was at the grocery store the other day, doing the shopping.. If you had a plan view of my path thru the grocery store it would look like a Family Circus cartoon. And I just thought how quick you or mega could go thru a grocery store...never going back to an asile...
