There are no really hard and fast rules though
are there. Just odds.
For instance a frat brother of mine is Catholic. He married a really neat mormon girl from Cache valley. They have two really great kids. My buddy never converted and his wife isn't real active. She worked her whole married life. Both kids have college educations and are really great happily married kids. The kids went to church and one was baptized. She married an RM in the Temple. That is just one family. I can point to Bishops and stay at home mom's who have kids no one would be proud of. I know bums (at least in lifestyle according to me) who have awesome kids. That is why as an old fart I tend not to point fingers and tell people because of how they are raising their kids or careers, this is how things will end up. |

since we put our son in part-time daycare in order to give him more social opportunities, and since I have seen a lot of colleagues have their kids in daycare, and since I have seen a lot of crappy kids with a mother at home, I'm coming to the conclusion that a mother who stays at home is not the most important part of the equation.
If it was really that important, we would all be homeschooling until 12. |
