Being a mother and housewife is so freeing. It's similar to being a contractor working from home----------never a boring moment. Your second point about too many people on earth, that was the Malthus theory we were taught in college in economics classes. Third point; yes, if you worked then your husband was not 'management level'. Coinciding with your going back to work after your oldest child went to the second grade -------that was when my husband and I made a conscious decision to 'change things'. Our dining room table was our 'board room'. We were a part of that change in Virginia-------I am so proud and pleased that we finally took the Republican Party out of the telephone booth, as an old gentleman who worked our precinct told me. Back to stay at home moms, we also have stay at home Dads. I have a "Stay at home Dad" who brings 2 of his children to me for piano lessons. When he brought the children three years ago -------he had a third one in his arms. Rarely, does he miss being on time. This Stay At Home Dad is working full time in raising these children. Then there was the stay at home Dad in my exercise class. He would come to the exercise class in the evening after his wife came from work. Sometmes our class disintegrated into counseling him on what to do when the kids started their little fights------ his inclination was to stand back. Upon our advice he learned that as the parent he had to not stand back but enter the fray. To conclude ---------Obama's advisor, Rosen, has given a gift that will keep on giving to the Republican party-----I see parents today giving 100% of themselves for their families. And, yes some of them have major illnesses that they deal with daily. such as Ann Romney has with the MS. .
