I agree with you for the most part. The only thing I disagree with is that you there is no benefit for the mother. There is a huge benefit. You get to see your baby grow. You see all their firsts. You have the freedom to parent the way you want to, without having to stick to a daycare schedule. You don't get as sick because your kid isn't catching all those super bugs from daycare and you don't catch them from people at the office. You don't get as stressed because you don't have to focus on work and home. Your marriage is better because you both have your roles. These are just some that I have experienced.

I actually agree with everything you said. Didn't mean to imply that there was no benefits to the mom, but the mom needs to have those benefits as their priority, not other life perks.

There are those that can't imagine reducing their spending by quitting their job and staying home. There are those that find their kids an annoyance and can only take them in small doses.

There are those that don't believe they could ever teach their own children, so would never contemplate homeschooling. The truth is, they can do it. It is a lot of effort, but it can be done.

I really get frustrated when someone says, "I could never do that!" (for just about anything) Sure you could (for the most part), it takes practice and time, but in the end you could, if you wanted to do it.
