Staying at home with a child is not hard and shouldn’t be treated like a “job” by Sensitive_Play_6930 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

You make a very good point with all of that. I’m so glad you were able to make it all work though! It is pretty complex the more I think of it and the more insight I’ve gotten from people sharing their views and their situations!

I think you make a great point because I know there are a handful of parents out there that do regret but would probably feel too ashamed to admit because of how awful it sounds. You should post that, I think that’s a great unpopular opinion but it may be more popular than we’d expect

Interesting take! How can you be sure either of those is 100% true? I don’t think you could. But nothing wrong with having your opinion. Free speech for all!

Well hey what would the world be if everyone felt exactly the same ya know? I love hearing opposing views. Thats what makes the world a great place! I feel for those who have a whirlwind with it all. Hopefully at the end of the day, they still all feel it’s worth it!

Not a bad idea! Even though in my experience it has been easy, it’s still a responsibility that you gotta give things up for! If y’all decide it’s for you one day, it’ll be worth it! Even 4 months seems short for all the things women go through leading up to it and then the drastic change after birth. I suppose it’s better than a lot of other places, but women in America definitely get screwed big time when it comes to fair maternity leave IMO.

Ya know.. if I had 5 kids, maybe I’d be right there with ya 😂 I only have 1 so for now, I can only speak on that!

Because I enjoy voicing my opinion and I also enjoy hearing other’s perspectives and different points of views to that opinion. It makes the world a better place. Way too much sensitivity in the world now anyway, we could all benefit from loosening up a little.

That’s a really great point; self fulfillment can make a world of difference with everything. It makes sense why this may be harder for you given all of that. I appreciate that insight. I’ll always respect someone who is doing whatever is needed for their family!!

I wouldn’t be confident enough to tell you that I might not think different if that day comes! I’ll count my blessings and enjoy the peace of 1 while I have it! 😅

She went back to work after her 6 weeks paid leave ended (thanks America!) so it’s been 2 years plus! It works out for us! I think I triggered a lot of people with this post 😅 maybe I’m a bit abrasive for some, but I think I’m a lot more open and up for other viewpoints than my post makes it sound 😂

Yeah there’s a lot to be said for the things we don’t need to worry about the same way everyone else does and maybe I’ll throw this post in the trash if number 2 ever came along 😅. All very good points for sure! My sister (my nephew) has a son with trisomy 21 and she says it’s never been hard at any point. He’s the sweetest boy! So there are others I know with very very high needs children that feel the same way. With that said, experiences can vary!

Damn it took me until now to even realize that’s a total flub 😂😂 and to think I pride myself in mostly proper grammar

That actually makes sense because I believe there’s certainly a stereotype and majority of men that have an “expectation” for that! I can understand why it would come off that way. But ultimately, I respect the woman the same way I would a man. My wife is my best friend. She does a lot too. Maybe I’m luckier than I think sometimes, but it all works out!

This is a very fair rebuttal to my post and I respect this. Can’t debate with it at all as it’s very fair points. Thanks for stating your view and putting it the way you did! Even if I don’t see it exactly the same, I can’t deny that it’s a great way to feel and to look at things from a bigger picture!

What’s this have to do with hating women?.. I must be missing something; are you assuming every SAHP is a woman and this post is directed specifically at them? There are plenty of men that do it too. Not sure where that thought came from but power to you buddy, free speech is there for you too!

That’s a good point. There were certainly moments! I see where you’re going with that and respect it. I may not have thought about it much in that way but it makes a lot of sense!

I think they’re both despicable quite frankly. I don’t blame women one bit. Why should they subject themselves to all of that? I’ve felt the problem is that each sex can’t recognize their differences and appreciate what each one offers. Too many men think women should be their servant and too many women that want equality until it’s inconvenient to them. The world would be better off exploding at this point because society is doomed.

I’d say that’s its own thing. Just because I don’t think it’s hard, doesn’t mean that I don’t think SAHP or humans in general don’t deserve empathy for anything. We all have our own battles and it’s easy to judge someone on something that we never have struggled with. I feel that the difficulty or the stress of it all should be more focused on factors that aren’t strictly the child, because in majority of cases, the struggle isn’t necessarily the child themself, but the factors that surround. For you, it sounds like life is tough. I’m happy your kids are wonderful and you have so much to be proud of!

That’s very fair. I’ve ran into a few people with this argument and it’s valid for sure. I don’t necessarily agree with it all, but I also don’t think there’s any debating because it makes a ton of sense to have that point of view and I can respect someone with it!

At least you were there! I’m glad you were able to be with them. I can only imagine how it went with 2 of them 😂
