women work

I had an interesting debate with my friends Omgea and Anthony they believed women should not work at all. I was a single mother off and on for many years. I have a very different view point. Women should not be sitting on their butts waiting on a check for welfare to take care their responsibility unless there is no way around it nor can she depend on a man to be a man take care their responsibilities. I had to work two to three jobs to take care of my three kids. I didn't just depend on a check or a man if I did that we all would have starved on the streets or the state would have had them. If you are in a relationship it take two incomes to support a family not just one. If you are by yourself you are the second income. I understand part of what they are saying about missing out on their childhood and bonding and that part may be wrong but it can't be helped. Omgea and Anthony said mothers should stay home and the father should provide or one take one shift and the other takes a different shift. That way a parent is always home with the kids. The funny thing is during this debate my mind went back in time to when I used to a date a fireman Bradly we argued about the same thing. No we didn't live together but I had two jobs and some times he would pick up the kids from the sitters when I had babysitters troubles. My kids would walk to the firestation or I would pick them up from there or when I work really late he take them to my house. We argue over the same thing I need to quit my jobs and stay home with my babies, but like I said before we didn't live together. I paid my rent, my own bills and I did not ask him for money only a ride to work, home and help watching the kids when I had babysitter troubles. But his belief was his belief that meant me not working. Of course our relationship ended. Me taking care of and supporting my babies is more important then anybody believes. If things were different and I didn't have to work those jobs I would not. But being a mother and father that meant losing time. I look at it this way I have them and not the state and if somebody wants to stick by me all the better and if not Oh well.
