Most New Mom’s Would Rather Follow Ann Romney’s Lead v. Feminazis

By Clash Daily / 10 September 2012 / 4 comments

Three out of four new mothers would stay at home to bring up their child if they could afford to, a report said yesterday.

A traditional family – with a breadwinning father and a full-time mother – remains the ideal for the vast majority of women, the study found.

The conclusion flies in the face of the assumption among politicians, civil servants and academics that working is good for mothers and that what families really want is more subsidised childcare.

According to the research, six out of ten mothers who return to work after having a baby do so only to pay off debt or ease financial pressures. Just one in seven said they wanted to develop their career.

The findings, produced from a survey commissioned by uSwitch of 1,008 mothers, back up a series of opinion polls in recent years, all of which showed that a high proportion of new mothers would prefer to stay at home.

Feminism is a soul crushing scam.

I am willing to bet a new mom would want to stay home with her baby. Her husband and father should too. I know I wish I could have but abandonment and divorce did not allow me to. Sad, very sad.

Most of the politically correct cant, that women want to work outside the home, results from people’s inability to recognize “value” without a dollar sign attached to it.

The goal of paid work is not money. Money is just a means to get to the true end: a comfortable standard of living. Women who work outside the home contribute money toward that goal, but, even more so, wives (not just “mothers”) who stay home and clean, cook, garden, and so on do so.

In 1980, while stationed in Texas, I undertook to “dollarize” my wife’s contributions to our family’s standard of living.

After figuring out the each loaf of bread she baked made us $1.25 better off, each tomato and each strawberry added a few cents, I also took the costs of having an outside job: more gasoline, more clothing, more eating TV dinners, more taxes, more of everything. As it worked out, she (a high school grad with two years of college) would have had to get a job for $12,000/yr just to make a real new dollar. (Keep in mind that inflation means this number would be closer to $30,000/yr today.) She might have found such a job, but her education would have made that very unlikely.

I assure you, my Jacquie is worth more than a dollar a year. Especially when one considers that, for that dollar, she’d have been away from home with dual loyalties (does the boss’s requirement come first or the children’s needs?) 50 hours a week, 50 weeks a year. We would have lower quality meals, and a distracted, tired wife and mother.

No thanks, folks. Even with our children now raising families of their own, we both prefer her staying home, doing the three thousand things she does that make our lives better. I earn money to do the things that only money (in our society) can get — she does the important stuff that makes us a family.

Mr. O’bama, where are the Jobs?

BTW, why is there an apostrophe in the headline?

The plural of “Mom” is “Moms”, not “Mom’s”.

The Sandy Hook Massacre

The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away:

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich. News Editor,Townhall.com and NYT's Best-selling Author, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E.
