No, it's not. In my experience, good parents are good parents and it makes no difference whatsoever whether they're working or staying home, while bad parents are even worse when they stay home.

lol keep believing that a full time caretaker is not important in the earliest years of a child’s life 🤣

and absolutely no one is saying being a full time parent means you will be a good parent. it’s that being a part time parent in the earliest years of a child life is irrepairably damaging.

Right back at you. Not to mention that women who stay home are more likely to end up in poverty in their old age as well as more likely to stay with an abusive partner. Keep believing that women are better off dependent on men!

It’s common sense that having a stay at home mother rather than a mother who has a career and can support herself and her family is better? Because I’m a working mother who brings home the bacon and my mom was a divorced former stay at home mother in middle age who could barely support herself let alone her kids so I’m just wondering how that’s common sense.

yeah i hope you’re smart enough to figure out that making money and healthy childhood development are two completely different things lol

biology doesn’t care about money

Right and I am smart enough to look at actual research and not just parrot right wing talking points shaming working mothers, unlike yourself. Fyi I work because I have to, like most other working mothers, and sorry to tell you but my kid is thriving and will be better off than I was with a non college educated stay at home mom who couldn’t support herself post divorce. Would love to ask if you understand how poverty and parental socioeconomic status (which is tied to jobs and education level) affects childhood outcomes but somehow I doubt you do.
