Hardly a distraction from the debate. More a counter to your position. A house wife is an amazing thing to have when you have kids. She let's the husband focus on work while she handles the home and kids. This division of labor allows the family unit to achieve more and allows a better environment for the kids with greater parental involvement in their rearing than is managed through using babysitters.

My comment was a flippant dismissal of your entire case - a case that ignores workloads and stresses associated with raising a family.

I don't know why I have to have the same argument six times in a row. As I said in every single other reply that is just a duplicate of yours, because apparently you all think you're special snowflakes, parents are only necessary in the home for young children. By the time they're off to school, they are not.

Your flippant dismissal is exactly that diverting from this debate. Because you, like all the other special snowflakes replying, are making mountains from mole hills about it. Pretending as though children take far more work than they actually do. I've not only watched other people's children but done my own siblings and my own. In every single case, it was never the children that were the problem. It's the parents. Making life hard for both the children and for themselves. Children are no real work at all, it's bad parenting that makes it hard.
