Taking care of other peoples kids is a job because you make money and dont just live off someone else's income. Stay at home parent is easier than going to a place to do a job. Pluss most of the time you're taking care of many kids unless you're a full time nanny in which case the wife of the family is probably rich and unemployed as well.
SOMEONE has to watch the kids. Its value is equal to what you'd pay in daycare, not to mention the value in having a parent who is always there. Daycare is super expensive so in order to justify the expense you have to make enough money to make it worthwhile and factor in the cost of your (BOTH parents) absence for a significant chunk of your child's life. Bear in mind also that at least one parent needs to have a VERY flexible job to allow for missed days due to the child being ill, days school is closed, hours that match up with the operating hours of daycare/school. Employment options are severely limited for most. For many people, having one parent stay at home is the smartest solution, for many it's the ONLY viable solution. And...some people simply don't believe in having kids only to dump them into someone else's care regardless of how much money they do or don't make. What right do you have to judge any of this? Do you know everyone's finances, job availability, and personal beliefs? Who the fuck are you to claim someone is 'living off' of their partner? You must not realize that in most cases the situation is agreed upon based on the personal preferences and particulars of these couples.
It is agreed upon in situations where a female who does not want a job finds a sucker who will support her financially. Happens in reverse in the case of stay at home dads. Sending kids to school isn't "dumping" them, its called having kids that have actual social skills unlike ones unfortunate enough to have parents who are constantly around. Public school is free so once the kid is like 4 there's no excuse for one partner to sit at home and watch Dr. phil tell her how hard her life is.
Also, stay at home dads are generally considered bums who dont work so why do women get a pass on this?
You are extremely immature, inexperienced, ignorant and hateful.
I have already answered your points but you do not seem to get it or are blinded so much by your bias and hateful feelings that you won't get it. I'm all for having a discussion but you apparently aren't.
I understand your points, the points made by a person to excuse why somehow cleaning their own mess qualifies as a job so they don't have to actually leave the house to work. Contributing a useless baby to an overcrowded world is not an accomplishment.
When I was the one working, having my SO take care of the house and kids was worth more to me than him making a few hundred bucks a week and having to have someone else watching my kids (that is something I will not do, ever). He wasn't 'living off' me, he was providing more value in work taking care of things around the house than I'd get out of him bringing in a bit of money working for someone else.
Shit, when I was around 21 I had to move back to my parents house and instead of paying rent, all my mom wanted was for me to clean, buy groceries and cook. My mom LOVES money but for her it was more worth it to have me do those things because she doesn't like to. She wouldn't say I was 'living off her' because she was getting what she wanted out of the deal which was worth more to her than a rent check.
All of this is perfectly fine, I just want these "stay at home" parents to call it what it is. It's not a job, let alone the "hardest one in the world"
Let me put it this way, High voltage line workers have to climb out of a helicopter onto live electrical wiring wearing a conductive suit that flows extreme voltage through it to avoid killing the worker. If they don't discharge electricity before and after climbing on and off the wire, the helicopter explodes and every one dies.
Now I personally would never do this, but its total bullshit in a world where extremely dangerous jobs like this exist, for a bunch of sanctimonious unemployed people who sit around watching TV eating Ice cream and playing stupid baby games fora couple hours a day to say they have the "hardest job on earth" just because they're bored and lonely from not really doing anything productive all day. Its not hard and its not a job, its called basic taking care of yourself and the children you decided to birth. Kids aren't productive, and personally I wish there were none because honestly I dont give a fuck if the human race ends after I die, and kids are annoying.
IIN to hate "stay at home moms"?

No, you obviously don't understand.

Different strokes for different folks.
