05/22/2008 | OK, if we are trolling for the best reviews from days gone by, I highly recommend good old Lance Roxas's thoughts on this subject.

12/01/2005 | I don't fully agree with this but at the same time, I have two opinions on this ie I am sitting on the fence. The way things were created was that women stayed at home during the day looking after and maintaining the development of the children and looking after the home whilst the men worked or got the meat. I suppose that's why they were called the bread winners. But on the other hand, we are not in the kill to live days ie you had to hunt animals etc. We are in a modern society and I suppose if there is someone looking after the house and who can effectively look after the growing children, and if dad wants to do it, then go dad!

11/15/2005 | This is stupid if only for the fact that one would have to assume stay at home Moms are lazy and reckless. Last time I checked, the job of a stay at home spouse entails a lot more responsibility then sitting around the house watching a football game and drinking beer (much like a house wife does more than watch soap operas and eat Bon Bons).

11/13/2005 | It's a choice made between spouses, and it is nobody's business but theirs. Let them cope the best way they can;to do otherwise is obsurd.

11/13/2005 | Utter nonsense. Their inherent responsibility is the well-being of their family and that may best be served by staying at home.
Any petty little asshole can devote his life to pursuit of career, but it takes a big man to swallow his pride, accept that his partner may have better prospects than him, that his kids may need a parent at home more than the extra money is needed in the house..and then face this sort of prejudice from other men.
On a side note, I assume 'copping' is meant and not 'coping' - (I have a grave fear that the computer age may be making people basically illiterate..perhaps an obsurd fear)

11/13/2005 | This is a very primative idea. I myself am not a stay-at-home dad. However; calling a man who would rather spend the day at home with his kids than spend all day at an office and never see them a cop out is just ridiculous. My brother is a stay at home dad because he is more interested in being a parent than than an employee. My sister-in-law and him both work. He can work from home while she is a realtor, to that isn't really an option for her. They are a very happy family, they have wonderful relationships with their kids and eachother.

11/13/2005 | OK,let me get this straight;a gas station attendant marries a lady lawyer or doctor.They have 3 kids.He is supposed to insist that she stay home,losing them over $200,000 a year while he goes off to pump gas for $5.35 an hour to preserve his fragile "male ego"- you call that "responsible"?

11/12/2005 | Ahh. . .the horsesh@t stacks up so high here you need wings to fly over it. An amazingly shortsighted, sexist statement. . .far more men emotionally alienate themselves from their children and dodge responsibility by immersing themselves in work. . .I have a good job and make good money, but if my wifey-poo wants to make serious cash and let me stay home and play with the kid, she can have all the responsibility she wants. . .I love my job, but I work because I like the responsibility- that 'responsibility' can be transferred anytime I feel like it. Work doesn't define who I am, all of my university diplomas don't define who I am, my family and friends define who I am. . .Anyone else want to pay my mortgage and investments? Go for it while I change the diaper while drinking a beer, folding laundry, and watching the tape of the football game!

11/12/2005 | I'd rather have someone cut my balls off and put them in a jar on the shelf than be a stay at home dad.

11/12/2005 | Not necessarily.
If an able-bodied guy is staying at home watching the kids while their pregnant wife is working a minimum-wage job, then yeah, the guy probably is being irresponsible.
But, let's face it, child care is EXPENSIVE. With some jobs, you'll probably be spending more on child care than one partner makes in a year. If you're going to be paying that much, or even close to that much, it makes a hell of a lot more sense to raise your own kid rather than have some stranger do it for you. The most logical choice is to have the partner who makes less money be the one to stay home. Sometimes, that happens to be the guy.
