Love nursing, having the time of my life! I also enjoy the science of nutrition.
I had two paths to take for a career. Music or nursing. I chose motherhood over both.

Well some of us seem to have this other science (other than food science) in common lol. My aunt recently told me if she thought she would ever have to butcher a chicken she would never eat it again. Anatomy class prepared me for it though so I do not mind...even though I love animals.Love nursing, having the time of my life! I also enjoy the science of nutrition.

unfortunately, because of financial circumstances, and furthermore poor personal choices (selfish choices such as divorce after children are born, abusive relationships not withstanding, of course - and those aren't gender specific), stay at home parents are uncommon in our times...
i was in no way offended, cui-food-pur (that's too laborious, we need to work on that).
i was just stating my opinion on youlr theme, and i respect your position. i was raised in a home that wasn't wealthy, but was just barely able to have a stay at home parent with due sacrifice. but we got by.
i'm interested in diverse opinions, the lot.
and yeah, chief, blood brothers no doubt.
but geez, i hate cuts on my hands. i'm too sensitive...

That is very noble. I am only 22 but I think it is a shame for kids to come home alone or not have at least one stay at home parent. I think our society needs stay at home moms. It is how I grew up until middle school at least.
Umm..whatever the situation is....it is better that children grow up in a stable home and with a particular benefit of having a stay at home parent in their early years especially. Everyone knows that..research has shown it...

Excellent point GG .
Me, I had both, kids and career, neither of us wanted to give work up , it was hard work juggling it all, but it worked out fine . If you can afford to and want to stay at home then good luck but don't lay this responsibility on women, men can and do do it too !
There is a risk especially these days in taking yourself out of the job market to stay at home, it was one I didn't want to take . I hear people , mainly women, referring to themselves as full time Mums ie stay at home . Silly because people who work are still full time parents !
I guess I don't really understand the point of this whole thread. My mother, who passed away several years ago, worked her entire adult life. She was college educated and worked as a teacher for 35 years. And then when retirement was forced upon her by the school district, she went back to work part time in a public library. She kept right on working until she was no longer able to because of health problems.
Yet she and my dad still managed to raise my brother and I. We never once held it against her that she worked. We both turned out fine, I think.
My wife and I both work, and our daughter is now in college. We couldn't have asked for a better kid. She's never been in any trouble. On the contrary, she works hard and makes us proud every day. I don't think she suffered one bit because of her parent's decision to work.
My point is, I don't see how it matters if one or both parents work or stay at home. As long as the kids are provided for and have a good home life, that's the important thing.
