Mother's Day is coming up and these articles always make an appearance each year by insecure stay-at-home cows who think they do something nobody else in the world does. Any functioning adult does the shit they do, only exception is that some of us don't multiply it by having children.

I don't care if they want to shake down their husbands for a "salary," but in the past some have suggested that "the government" (meaning you and I) should pay them. They are out of their minds.

I didn't hire them for the job, I don't get to give a performance review, and I can't fire them. I'm not going to pay someone to do a job where there's no screening process or consideration of qualifications, no oversight, and no review process.
A job, I might add, that I'm not even convinced we need, since a good many parents have two-income households.

When are they going to get it through their heads that being a SAH Moo isn't a job? It's a obligation to take care of the responsibility that YOU as parents chose to produce. If you can't afford to either stay at home or put your chyuld in daycare so you can work and can't afford to pay bills and the necessities than it was irresponsible of you to have a sprog in the first place.

Keep in mind that there are many people in America who could be living a comfortable, middle-class lifestyle, but who instead choose to pretend that they can live an upper-class lifestyle.
Even if Duhd makes a good salary, it's probably not possible to have the McMansion AND the third car, AND the new furniture, AND the 2.3 kids, AND the Disney vacation... and all without a Moo working for a second income? I don't think so.
The bankruptcy rate, divorce rate, loan default rate, and housing bubble are all the proof you need that a huge percentage of American families are completely "maxed out," living on credit, and on a path of financial self-destruction.

Many years ago, my father got a construction worker's view inside many of the local McMansions years after they were built.
He said that almost every one was large and fancy on the outside, to impress the neighbors.
He was shocked that the furniture inside (even after the people lived there for many years) was usually extremely minimal, less even than students (think a card table two old chairs and mattress on the floor) and all of it was cheaply made, ugly stuff.
The families always ensured that no one (neighbours, co-workers, kid's classmates) ever got to see the inside of these homes.
