For generations, women in my family had to work. All grandmothers worked, my mother worked & my sisters worked. All raised great kids. It's a bit simplistic to say civilization was lost because women went to work. Maybe it's because many fathers left & abandoned their families.

I dont know maybe many factors not single out the fathers.

Exactly my point. Stefan singled out working mothers as the reason western civilization collapsed. Since the beginning of time, working class mothers raised children and worked. How about lack of God & fathers, drug addiction, welfare dependence, alcoholism, etc. Need I continue?

1) Actually Fathers and Mothers both played enormous roles in the development of their children throughout most of the history of Western Civilization. Fathers began to lose this primary role with the onset of the industrial revolution...

2) ...and played a lesser and lesser role in their own families as industrial jobs began to replace the prevalent rural lifestyle...luckily Mothers however were able to maintain their primary roles within the Family for generations longer...

3)...and children still had a least one parent enormously committed to their development as they grew into adulthood...beginning in the latter half of the 20th century that of course began to change....

4) as more Mothers started to leave their families for outside employment, the development of children for the first time ever began to occur without an enormous commitment from either parent. Their development began to be farmed out to non-parents...

5)...people who would never have the commitment to those children as a parent would. So the real problem with Western Civilization is we now have generations of children who have had minimal commitments from either parent...

There are women who choose not to have children, because they simply don't want to.

Good thing their parents didn’t make that decision

Not everyone wants kids. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

We make the sacrifice and my Wife stays home with our 3 boys. She even has a little craft business running from home. We decided to drive older cars and be a little more frugal to try to give them better education in private schools. 6 years in and no regrets!

I stayed home for ten years after my kids were born; even though this affected my retirement benefits, I will never regret being there to raise my kids!

I love your name! ...Be a fountain not a drain
