Considers "Stay At Home Parent" A Job

[ThisNThat]

Is this a THING now? I'm seeing this on dating sites and social media profiles. "Work - Stay At Home Parent/Mom". This one actually had "Best job in the world!" listed next to it.

As this is something to be proud of? This is akin to the body positive movement. Everything are going in the opposites.

I noticed this is more with the female gender of single mothers, but if a guy had this...he'd be label a loser right away.

Two schools of thought on this (in my opinion anyway). If you are single and the woman you are seeing lists this as her occupation, she could end up being a decent plate. Give it some time though. Does she demonstrate any ambition toward getting a job? Not school, a job. BIG difference.

If you are married, which in my opinion this is the only place a SAHM fits, then this can be acceptable in raising the kids instead of sending them to day care. But again, this is literally the only scenario where I would accept a woman being a SAHM since she would also be my wife. For the record though my wife is not a SAHM and does enjoy her career.

Taking care of 2 or more small children is definitely a full time job.

Do you have any small kids In your family? If you do, offer to babysit for a weekend so the parents can have some alone time.

You'll have a new respect for the job title "stay at home mom/dad"..

Basically daycare can be so expensive for multiple kids(I've heard as high as 300 per week, per child) sometimes it just makes sense for the parent who makes less (man or woman) to stop working till kids are older
Its really no shame in it.

I've never had a woman who was interested in me and not trying to run some type of manipulation have me wait more than 3 dates for sex.
Usually 2.
Often 1st date.
Ofcourse all my dates generally involve alcohol so it makes it easier I guess.
