| Women Have Too Much Pressure On Them To Have Careers And Children. We Need To Pay Women A Good Wage To Stay At Home And Make Their Families Their Career. |
| Too many women feel they have to be 'super' women, juggling careers and families. Paying women to stay at home until their children are teenagers would ease to burden and take the stigma some women feel about being a stay at home mother. |

Why can't there be an undecided/nuetral column? I agree with the first statement. Mom's typically
make better moms for their own children than the daycare lady does. Gee, go figure.
I cannot agree with the concept of paying women to stay at home with their children. Enough single
moms leach off the system as it is, adding married moms to the mix is unacceptable. |

I am in total agreement. Bonding with your child is essential in building their self esteem and open
mindedness. Sending them off to daycare or preschool everyday does nothing for kids. They get
ignored and are forced to eat food they don't like. If the American families could have their moms
get paid to stay home, you would see a drastic difference in todays children. There would be a lot
less rebellious teens and alot less crimes from people who have felt abandoned their whole lives. |

I personally had to go back to work when my daughter was 4 months old of which is the worst\
feeling ever. I want to stay at home until my next child due july is at school. But money is always
the gripe. I feel this is why we have such problems with children as there mum is out working to
provide and what they really need is to be able to be comfortable in the knowledge of there mum
being home when they get home from school. Just wish the government would wake up and smell the
coffee! |

I like the idea but do you think the US economy can take it in its currents state. The answer is no
it couldn't. Nice ambition though |

I feel that if women were able to stay home with their children and get paid for it,there would
actually be less families on public assistance because the mothers would be able to contribute
financially to the household. I feel that children need their mothers with them during the day and
this would make it possible. I am a mother of 4 and work a full time job and i do feel that my
children miss out on a lot of opportunities to do fun activities at school because i am at work. |

My husband and I have sacrificed and have had many very stressful financial situations for me to be
able to stay at home with our 3 children. Without a doubt it was always our first priority for me
to stay home as mom and not have strangers raising our children. Too many people want their cake
and eat it too, and therefore our children of this nation are being neglected and not being raised
properly. I see it everyday. It is so crystal clear to me but not to the mothers that work. I
feel bad for the kids. Parents think material things can make up for the lost parental time. Not to
mention it's another reason why everyone keeps getting sick. Mom's use school as a babysitter
because they don't want to call off work when the kids are sick, They send them anyways passing
germs around. I see this constantly in a good middle class area. You can tell of the many children
in the neighborhood, whose mom stays home and who's does not simply by their behavior. |

I think it is a great idea to pay women a living wage to stay at home and enjoy their children, if
this is what they wish to do.
All women are entitled to go out to work but for many the burden of long hours in the workplace and
then many hours of domestic work is too much for them.
Even in today's world, women tend to have more household tasks to perform than men and find juggling
careers and home tiring and stressful. We need to encourage men to take a lot more
responsibility.
Perhaps for highly paid women the roles are more easy to combine as they can afford child and home
care.
For the lower paid and single parent, often they barely cope and their health and family life
suffers.
If the government paid stay at home parents of either sex a living wages to be at home children and
parents would benefit. This could be means tested for the benefit of lower income families .
Many women feel there status drops when they give up work and fear loosing their financial
independence.
Paying them would solve more problems than it would create. |

Yeah lets pay someone to stay home like they pay auto workers 95% of their pay to be laid off. If
you choose to be a stay at home mom then that is a choice you made. I didn't want to use the word
sacrifice because if it's a sacrifice you shouldn't have kids to begin with. Someone should be home
to raise the kids. I don't care if it's the woman or man, but someone should be there when the kid
gets home from school. Their should be no juggling. If you have a kid take care of them. Don't rely
on someone else to watch your kids and instill their values, morals, ethics on your child. The whole
argument that a person has to work and therefore send their kids to day care is stupid. If you can't
afford the kids keep it in your pants. Women should be paid the same as men if the job they do is
equal. |

I think that there should be a parent to take care of the child, but it does not have to be the
mother. Men are just as capable to take care of children, they are just never given the chance.
I am also in agreement with the whole pay thing… Just not the extreme stereo type of what the role
of a mother is. |

Research this - who is "WE"??? Cause if it's me who you think wants my taxes raised so we can pay
even a larger population to stay on their sorry behinds and wait for handouts --- oh no, we've got a
huge generation of those types all ready. Do you really think we need more? I feel so sorry for
the future of this country!!! |

If we were to do this how do you propose we pay for it? I would assume that the government would
have to pay them which would mean that the American people would have to pay more taxes. Second of
all times have changed most people don't even think twice about it when a women is a mother yet she
still works. If a mom wants to do both but still be there for their children then they can work from
home or part time. It is not right for us to have to pay money to women who decided to have children
but want to stay home with therm even though they can not afford it. |

What would the wage be based on exactly. Cooking? Cleaning? Food shopping?, all of that. It sounds
like another way to suck the economy dry. And is it just for women, why can't it be for men?...Stay
at home dads, were's that concept play a roll in all this? |

Women in our society do handle a lot responsibilities and duties simultaneously. It is indeed a
proven fact that those women who have handled their career along with handling their children have
surely undergone much pressure in their lives. But at the same time they have managed to give
sufficient time in upbringing their babies and also focusing on their career. But the entire thing
depends on the wish of that lady as to how she wants to handle the matter. Does she want only her
children or her career or both of them? In such a situation it entirely depends on her will as what
she would do. But it has justification in the line that they need to be paid in order to stay at
home and make their families their career. They should not be burdened with such thoughts. |

I don't believe this is a good idea... We already can't afford the other assistance programs we
have going on. This would be like another type of welfare. Everyone has a choice- to work or to
have a child (children); which order to have them in; which type of education they will need to get
the better job to afford the kid(s); and we have a responsibility as Americans to reduce the stigma
that we have to 'have have have'. People have forgotten how to enjoy life. |

Children are a choice.
Staying at home with them is a choice.
If you wish to make this choice study well, work well & save well before hand and work your way in
to a position to be able to do so DO NOT expect society to pay for this.
(The above opinion applies to the old stereotype of 2 spouses wishing to have children.) There
are multiple family scenarios these days and the above is not applicable to all.

The world is moving at high pace, whether its technology or media. So if I study computer sciences
or Human Rights and then wait for minimum 10 to 13 years to get my children grow up. I would not be
able to remember anything of my course books.
In these timings everyone need leaders with maximum abilities and most importantly young age.
If government will start paying wages; women won't be able to make careers, only families with the
token money. They'll be out of career opportunities after making their families. |
