If your reason is the economy, would you support more policies that help making a family viable with a single income?

I love spending time with my kid, but she shouldn't stay home all every day any more than I should. It's not healthy. 40 hour work weeks are bs but that doesn't mean 0 hours work is good either. I would go crazy if I wasn't allowed to work or build career outside the home.
& i wouldn't want that for my daughter either. She should be able to pursue whatever life she wants, whether that is stay at home or be the president of the country. & should be able to choose what kind of family she wants to build too, whether she wants to have many kids or no kids.

Honestly, that sounds like hell... (Hell might be a strong word, but I don't know what else to say).
I don't want to stay hoe, having to live my life for others. Picking socks up fro the floor and have a never ending cycle of taking care of children, doing house chores, never have time for myself, and never earn my own money, being dependent on a man, where he could use that fact against me.
No thank you.
When I have a job, and I see I get my paycheck every month, I feel a sense of accomplishment. I love being able to pay with y own money.
And I love having a job where I can grow and feel like I'm becoming a more competent person.
Every time I've had a job, I was growing as a person.23 Reply- 1 mo
Same here! I don’t want to depend on someone else either for financial support and i also don’t want to take care of others or clean up after them and take them everywhere with me etc 24/7

I could never see myself being a SAHM/trad wife. It would make me bored and miserable
Unfortunately staying home and raising kids is work as well so either way she is still working but the real reason she works is because 2 incomes is better than one , being with a girl that works with you is better than a girl that works against you , I only date Girls’ that are independent that can take care of themselves , over a girl that is just looking to use you.

Yea don’t ever waste your time on a girl that is just using you for money , that isn’t love whatsoever , she will drain your bank account and then leave you high and dry when you have nothing left to offer her , she will jump on another cock to use him for his money and treat you like you are garbage. I have friends’ that experienced this with girls’ and they all ended the same way. Find yourself a girl that works with you not against you. Sadly there are a lot of gold digger whores out there that do this shit to guys’ I dated a few but it ended quickly because I don’t fall for that shit. I don’t care how beautiful she is , she is a using whore that only cares about herself My ex turned into one as well when she sensed grass is greener on the other side , the second I was laid off from job she changed on me , she didn’t have my back whatsoever , so kicked her to the curb where she belongs. No pussy is worth that disgrace in your life , A good girl will have your back and stand by your side through the good times and the bad times as long as you do the same for her. Find a girl that wants to be your team partner.

I agree. Went through a similar situation before.
It's hard for me because one part of me thinks it's more important than ever now for parents to spend a lot of time with their children. But now it seems woman don't even want to have kids anymore.
It's a little sad but I guess nice they have the self awareness to recognize it. Not really sure what to take from these replies tbh - 1 mo
most women dont want kids bc of how fucked up the world is or they js never wanted kids

Well these days inflation is at roof
Two people earning is much good rather than giving the load to one person
Moreover women these days want to be self depended and show that they can also work and live the life on their on terms11 Reply- 1 mo
You're right. It almost feels like they're embarrassed if they're not which is a little tricky for me to wrap my head around.

I would much rather be a single-income no kids (SINK) than a mother, at that point that means I’m only responsible for myself

Same🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣id love to get married without the kid part being involved
1. I don't want marriage.
2. I fucking hate kids.
3. I hate being stagnant.
4. I actually enjoy working for what I have. My guns are mine. My property is mine. My home is mine. My dogs are mine. Everything is all mine. I earned it, myself. I take pride in it.51 Reply- 1 mo

I already stay at home, it's miserable. I'm ready to get outside of this house and actually try to figure out what jobs I like. One of which in the future I will be set up with once I find one that I can say "Yes, I love this and I'd like to do this!" As for kids, that'd be the most problematic thing ever, being a mom is not the greatest idea for me. It's better to see the world and be out in it. Since in a house you only have a limited time to be out in the world before you have to go back inside.

Same I couldn’t see myself being a mom or let alone staying home to take care of kids it would drive me nuts. Im a homebody, but when im being lazy and hanging around. I wouldn’t enjoy having to be on my feet and care for someone 24/7 then clean up after them

@Brittanyroseee I'm just not mentally capable of having kids. But my nieces & nephews are very lovely to have around! 💖 I personally want to get my tubes tied so that way I don't ever have to worry about pregnancies, births, abortions, and birth control medications. If I'm not suppose to have babies, might as well make it permanent.

Sounds good but I work because no attractive Indian man able to afford a high standard of living is willing to marry a woman who is a “burden” and doesn’t contribute financially. Literally no Indian doctor, engineer etc. would marry such a woman no matter how beautiful. I am surprised that Western men want such a woman and I wish I were in the West. Here guys would even marry a 30+ woman older than themselves if she earns well

Because I love my job and my career. I wouldn't feel right just staying at home all of the time. I would hate that life.

That's a sexy reason
Probably because I'm one of the fortunate people who loves their job and looks forward to doing it every day. I worked very hard to get to this point in my career and I'm very proud of that.

Why would anyone want to live with kids and a washing machine behind four walls 24/7. No animals so far ever did that on earth, so why this torture now?

Sometimes I wish I could do that. If you like kids it's not any worse than working a retail job. Which I guess this question was directed more at woman working jobs like that.

A wish is not the experience itself, you may discover that you'll miss the retail job lol

I did retail for one week and swore it off. I used to work with kids a lot and still miss it.

It doesn't really apply, this is a whole different level of emotional investment and responsibilities, plus the timeframe, your kids are yours for a lifetime

Yea, sounds amazing. Sounds like something that should be everyone's purpose in life.
I already don't work and stay home with my kids everyday. Tbh it's way more work than having a actual job but it's worth it to be able to be the one raising my kids instead of throwing them in daycare. And daycare cost way to much so we wouldn't be able to afford it even if I wanted to work

Congrats! Good luck, you're about to have a wild ride with those age differences 😂
Because to me being financially depended on someone is loss of control over my entire being. I am not trustful and I am certainly not naive.

I’ve lost a few jobs over the past few years and found myself to be very bored with the extra free time while job searching. A job keeps me busy and I feel like I actually have a life. I don’t have kids but I do have pets and I even get bored of them sometimes.

I already stay at home a lot during my free time. Without a job I wouldn't be updated on what's happening in the world. Also more financial stability if both of us had our income.

Yes, I’d love to stay home and focus solely on my kids. But in today’s time, it’s not that realistic anymore.

I wouldn’t enjoy that. I like to work and make money. I also don’t want to spend it on someone else. I also am not motherly.
