re: So Stay At Home Moms Deserve 113k a year

Pay moms or dads to stay home and raise their children instead of having them away from the home unit to earn money instead.

Think about the decline in morals and standards over the last 40 years, how much of it is tied into single family homes where the kids raise themselves or fight it out in the streets. Not saying it would solve all of the countries problems, but I think it would go a long way towards adding some stability back in peoples lives. Of course it could be a complete failure, but I think would make a hell of a paper of exercise.

What? I was raised in a single parent household, and both my parents have worked my entire life. Yet my sister and I didn't raise ourselves or fight it out in the streets.

Paying parents to stay home with their kids in lieu of other social programs isn't going to solve any problems. Parents can work and still be involved parents, and staying home all day doesn't make someone an involved parent.
