But we see them everyday in their new cars, cell phone at their ear, darting in and out of traffic, child strapped into the seat, eating a fruit bar on the way to daycare. Today's parents want everything now. That's the problem. They are willing to go into debt to acquire all their worldly wants and most of all they are ready to give up the most important job in all the world and that is the raising of their children. They would rather entrust what supposedly is the most important thing in their lives to strangers.
Society is also responsible.
We make women who choose to stay at home feel like they are stupid. That the only reason that they are at home is that they can't do anything else. We tend to our gardens more than we do our children. Think about it. Perhaps you can step out of the squirrel cage you're caught up in.
