Should women feel ashamed for working while they have a baby at home?

Yes

No

No. There's nothing to be ashamed of. You are working because you have to. I'm sure you would prefer to be at home with your baby. It is best for your baby; for you to be working.

You're doing it to be a good mom; aren't you? Of course you are.

It depends on what you think. She shouldn’t feel ashamed if she has to provide financially for her child. On the other hand it depends on how you look at it, which is what I think you’re getting at. That she’s ashamed she has a child out of wedlock w no man there to support her. A failed relationship, possibly even a one night stand. That is on you or whoever this question may be about. Maybe it’s just hypothetical.

No but it is unfortunate. Child care is so expensive. Or so I’ve heard. Unless of course she wants to work and can afford child care no problem.

Even then why work just to afford health care instead of staying at home and letting your man work

*child care

Well, if I had a baby, I would probably stay home for the first few years, but not everyone can afford to do that.

Although I have no need to work, I am a working mother of two children, and have absolutely no guilt or shame whatsoever.

Thank you so much for the MHO.

Nope, they should be ashamed if they have a baby but actually can’t afford them. As long as you have money or a job to provide the kid, I don’t see any problem here.

If a mom has the ability stay at home with younger children that can be good.

But bills needing to be paid is understandable and reality for many.

Not with lack of help and childcare in this country (USA)

I personally don't see the point in having children if other people are going to raise them for you.

no she shouldn't
