Interesting read. I can see the logic in it and moms really don't get enough credit.

People sign up for jobs as well, I don't see your point.

exactly. they sign up for jobs knowing what they're getting paid and that they can be terminated at any time. Almost every job makes you sign a contract of conditions that you and the company must adhere to.

When you get knocked up, you are essentially signing a contract to take care and provide for that child (barring adoption or abortion) without recieving any pay (with the exception of some tax breaks) for the work you have to do. When a chick lets a guy jizz all over her insides, she's pretty much saying that she's agreeing to raise this child and deal with their shit for 18 years.


there are some shitty parents out there that don't do what they're supposed to, but that's not the point.


edit: and unplanned pregnancies are not excuses. once again, there's adoption and abortions, and you should have used birth control in the first place.

If a woman sees a kid as a full time job and feels it's worth $134,000 a year she doesn't need to be havin kids. Lets run down these "jobs" the wifey claims.

"Housekeeper"?
I dunno about anyone else but young mother's house usually looks like shit. a housekeeper would do a much better job for way less I'm sure than they included in their wife salary.

"day care teacher"?
if a woman feels that looking after her kids and teaching them life lessons is a job, she has no business being a parent.

"cook"?
wtf?? last time I checked every human being on the planet has to eat to survive. I wish I could get paid to open a gerber jar or pop some hot pockets in the microwave.

"Laundry machine operator"?
I didn't know these existed... but last time I checked my dad threw in as much laundry as my mom did, and probably more while we were really little bc she my mom took care of the kids. similar to the "cook" item, i wish i could get paid for throwing my own laundry in the wash.

"Computer operator"?
wtf does this have to do with anything? she wants to get paid to surf the internet?? is there some significant item a mother would have to do on the computer that I'm missing?

"Janitor"?
how the hell do you include housekeeper and janitor? I guess next time I spill something at home and clean it up I should earn some janitor pay.

"Facilities Manager"?
not really sure what facilities the 6 figure salary mom feels she manages but here's another one I guess I should be paid for as well bc I "manage" my facilities too?

"Van driver"?
last time I checked the husband has to drive to work too. in fact I bet he has to drive more than the wife does. make sure he gets paid. plus, an actual van driver (delivery guy or whatever) drives all day long and does nothing else.

"chief executive"?
of what? bills are typicall in the man's name. any major decisions w/the house or vehicles start w/the man. just because women go out and spend the mans money without his permissions doesn't make them the freakin CEO of the house.

"psychologist"?
to whom? the man comes home from a long day at work and wants to relax, but he has to play psychologist to the woman and listen to the story of her terrible parking/waiting in line/lil johnnie did this stories.

I bet there's fathers out there that would take a pay cut to get to spend more time with their kids. Whoever came up w/this is a freakin idiot. I mean, take out the "day care" part of it and any single person who has their own place fits those descriptions.

Why didn't they say this was about unemployed parents? It had to be "moms" in particular? I know dads that stay at home with the kids too.
