Well I disagree.What if both parents are vital key workers that are in short supply?Also what ever happened to free will and democracy?Perhaps mum will be a better parent if she feels she has worth as an employee especially if she is in a profession such as teaching,medicine or law and her future career will be affected if she stops to be a stay at home mother and after all being a mother is hardly high status in todays society.It also may be that we are talking one parent family as well.
There's too much finger wagging at parents as it is from the childless gripers to the moaning minnies complaining about the moral decay of society's fibre. Yes some parents are bad parents but they would be whether in full time employment or not.
Anyway shouldn't BOTH parents be raising the child?Stay at home dads are more common than they were but they still aren't the normal state of affairs.
