So, what about doing your own car repairs? Home maintenence? Lawn work? It's all stuff that needs to be done and you can either do it yourself or pay someone to do it. Why is it more valuable if someone else does it instead of you? If you do it yourself it saves you $, and the $ it saves you is the same as income. It's money that stays in your pocket.
Fixing your own car and hose is called "taking care of yourself" and this is not a job. It's not more valuable if somebody else does but a jobless person fixing their own car and house is still a jobless person.
It's ADDED VALUE. Not everyone can do, or feels it worth it to do such things. But it must be done. Do you ever outsource any of your responsibilities? Or do you know how to do everything AND have the time to do it?
Why do you think having ANY job outside the home is more valuable than taking care of things for yourself? Do you not realize the obstacles to employment here? The cost of daycare/sitters? The effect of both parents getting wiped out from working...the toll that takes on them, the children and the housework?
Okay, think of it this way. People are capable of taking care of varying amounts of issues and responsibilities in their lives. Some people are good with cars, some people are not. The people who are not will outsource the work of fixing the car because they do not know how or don't have the time to do it themselves.
Either way, the person fixing their own car probably also has a job they use to make money, even if it is also a job working on cars. You don't get to be unemployed, change your own oil, and call yourself a "stay at home auto mechanic"
But both are still JOBLESS, because fixing and taking care of your own property is not a JOB. Stay at home moms are JOBLESS and live off of the money earned by OTHER PEOPLE. Why is this so hard to understand?
It's still money in your pocket. If you can't afford babysitting or car repairs, then you have to go without or DIY. If your job doesn't pay enough to send your kid to daycare then why work? If you don't believe in having kids unless at least one parent stays home then live and let live, plenty of people value that. Just because you don't doesn't mean shit.
IIN to hate "stay at home moms"?

Say 2 people are jobless. One can work on cars and one can't. One is more valuable to have around than the other.
