re: More American women are single than ever before—and it’s costing them big money

I think upvotes are really important to some people. Healthy, well-adjusted adults don’t brag about being obedient to anyone.

Single moms get state equivalent of UBI. If not, the man pays.

What reality do you live in where no single mom works? As if government benefits provide a comfortable life and there are furnished homes sitting vacant waiting for single moms to come claim them.

---

What the frick do you want? You want pay for that?

I want misogynistic megalomaniacs like you to stfu about how you paid your wife and mother of your child to do the easy work of raising your child and taking care of your family. Your marriage appears to have been transactional, which explains why it didn’t last.

quote:

Sorry you feel burdened by it to a degree you want pay.

I can see why you hate teachers now. They clearly failed you, considering your lack of reading comprehension abilities.

And just for an example to you

My current wife fled a war torn country, with two young kids, came to this country, raised both of them, on her own, while working two jobs, and did not have near the support you have.

She does not feel even remotely the same as you. I wish I would have known her then. I value the shite out of what she did. Her story mirrors mine greatly.

Oh yeah, she was born and raised socialist, in a socialist country. She is big time MAGA now. Maybe she, unlike you, learned the evils of collectivism.

You are a Passport bro. Your posts all make complete sense now with these new details.

They are garaunteed state UBI even if they do work.

Did you just ignore how my current wife raised two kids, while single and employed with two jobs.

You always ignore what you do not agree with.

I see you ignored where I told you I raised my son after divorcing my first wife because she did nothing. If it were transactional, as you say, my son would not have cut all ties with her, as he did, and supported my claims in court, which he did.

Why do you matriarchal misoginistic meglomaniacs never aknowledge what us men do for you? Why do you think you deserve something special? As if men take no part in any child rearing as well as home maint and daily chores.

I love teachers. I just hate the shitty public school teachers whose lack of compassion for their own children and husband leads her to believe she should be paid to do simple tasks. These same teachers have great lack of reading comprehension.

Sorry you have zero value.

Okay, after reading through all of this it sounds like there’s some post partum mom thing going on here where you’re not happy (at this moment) with your situation and responsibilities that you’re having to tackle…..and particularly there’s no appreciation for what you’re having to do and how that may or may not be affecting your career as well.

I hope venting on this Board helps but this really isn’t a societal problem.

I do in general think it's a societal problem that didn't exist before women were told they are bad feminists if they don't try to juggle a career and motherhood.
Children are a full time job. It's just factual. Either we raise them ourselves, or we send them to others, but it will be someone's job to raise them.
Society has pretended that two working people who do half parenting is better than one person who can dedicate fully to a career and one who can dedicate fully to children.

I don't really have a care if it's the Man or the Woman who stays with the children, usually one will have a much higher earning potential.
Since I got married my salary has 3Xed we went from apartment living to a rather nice house that's had a good chunk paid off.
If my wife was working, and I was working, and our children were in daycare, and after school etc... I really don't think I could have spent so many of the hours getting good at what I do. If I'm working at 1am from home and have to go in at 6 the next morning, if I have to fly across the country, or just take a work trip to another location, I can do it, because my wife takes care of everything else.

That becomes money, lots of it. One elite employee who continues to get done what needs to get done makes at least as much as two employees who are barely able to hold it together.
Of course two elite employees who offload their children to others make more, but I think that's foolish.

Society tells women they need to have a career, it tells men to pick a woman with good career opportunities.
The solution isn't to praise women who do both and force companies to pay women more for less work.
The solution is to actually praise being a mother, it is the hardest job on this planet.

I'm more than ok with UBI for the parent of young children in the form of tax write offs.
The working Parent makes $100k, for each under 18 kid they get $3k tax credit per kid, $10k if one parent is full time stay at home.
We need more children, we need parents spending time with them so they grow into great Americans.

Everyone is obedient to someone.

Modern women are chosing more and more to be obedient to corporate America.

It's a strategy. Sure. But women accepting of more traditional roles (supporting their husbands) don't have the same depression/mental health issues. So there's certainly something there.

But because women aren’t paid by a third person to complete the work they do at home, that labor is devalued.

In a traditional relationship where everything is shared, isn't her labor valued the same as her husband's? She is getting to live in whatever home his labor can afford, eat whatever foods his labor can afford, go on vacations his labor can afford, etc.

How so?

Why didn’t she get the UBI you keep referencing?

I’m not here shitting on Women and single moms, so I’m not sure why you feel like you need to justify your wife’s existence to me. A few posts ago you called her lazy and a horrible mother that you paid to be a stay at home mom then later divorced, forcing her into a homeless shelter, so I’m not sure which narrative I’m supposed to believe.

straw man. Impossible to have an honest discussion with you.
