That’s employment in society’s eyes.
- bullfightonmars 3y agoWell in reality stay at home parents are engaged in unpaid employment that is completely unrecognized (or recognized as Not in Labor Force).
- soligern 3y ago>in society’s eyes That’s all that really matters for many people.
- carlosjobim 3y agoUnrecognized by who? Unpaid? You are investing in the most valuable thing that exists. Is somebody else supposed to pay you to raise your own children?
- aidenn0 3y agoThere is increasingly an expectation that mothers will have a paying job. My wife is a stay-at-home mom and gets some strange reactions when sharing this (I just say it's way harder than my job).
- carlosjobim 3y agoThose people do not really seem mentally sound, and could be best ignored.
- aidenn0 3y agoLot's of people (like more than half the population we interact with) assume that my wife has a job, even knowing that we have four kids. I'm not sure your advice about ignoring all of them is sound...
- EliRivers 3y agoWouldn't be a terrible idea given the long-term benefit to society at large of having young, healthy, educated adults. A relative shortage of them is a serious concern for a number of societies around the world.
- carlosjobim 3y ago"Society at large" is more hostile to young, healthy, educated adults than ever. The first step is to reduce the leeching of these people, so that they can have families as is the natural order.
