    My wife quit work and stayed home to raise the kids. Wouldn't change that and I heartily recommend mom's at home. I don't want other people raising my kids! They could have turned out like HH or something.

    We still raise our kids, and it’s going to be easier to have more daytime interaction with them with the shift toward work from home. Both my parents worked and I was kind of a latchkey kid, but I played sports from the time I was 5 years old(soccer/baseball/football/basketball) and we did weekend activities starting at age 2(skiing/hiking/camping/fishing) . It’s really about daytime/school/activities during the week. They need to be involved in sports and ECs and those need to be prioritized over playing Xbox or watching TV. Same as it’s ever been.
    You played soccer? Damn. Sorry.

    And, no offense, but one of my screening questions for all male suitors of Creepy's brood of beauties is whether they were latchkey kids growing up. Many were turned away on that basis alone.

    I give no fucks on whether those trying to seduce my daughters were latchkey kids.

    I want to see tax returns, W-2s and trust account statements.

    Geez I only had boys. If I had girls my guns would have very clean and the tractor may have had a few more hours on it!

    There are only two millennial women I'm down with. And that's mainly because I plan to become the throbbers stepson.

    Making a rare appearance in the Tug to say:

    1. This belongs on the Finance board. I'll reprise it in slightly shinier wrapping at a later date.

    2. My wife stayed home. Can't say if they were better for that reason, or by reason of their superior swarthy genetics (Charles Murray's opinions notwithstanding). I will say this: I have three girls, and they are fucking educated and I have advised them to (1) have a career and (2) live near their mother.

    I'll amplify my rationale for #2. First, nobody will take care of those babies better than my wife, and it will be free, and it will free me to go fuck around and do whatever I want because my wife will be blissfully unaware and give no fucks about what I am doing. Second, the odds of marrying an asshole or loser can be greatly reduced based on where you meet him. Both of my girls in serious relationships (one of them is married) met Mr. Wonderful in college. Good. Slightly better odds than in HS or a fucking bar. The third one is dating a guy she met in grad school. Even better. But even with superior breeding and social engineering, there are still decent odds you are going to marry the wrong person. People change, and frankly, nobody really knows anybody until they've seen them react in the trenches.

    The problem with this little trip down reactionary lane with you well-intentioned gentlemen is this: the world in which women stayed home was also a world in which they had little power and influence and were beholden to the men in their lives for the basics of food and shelter, much less a "good life." Next to zero autonomy. Creep's kids will be self-sufficient well into the financial zone of wealth building where Eddie Murphy's "Half!!!!!!!" actually means something.

    But if you want to raise your daughters with that vulnerability, like the Mormons do, go right ahead. We? won't protest.

    So your wife stayed home but its a trip down reactionary lane for others to point out the benefits of it

    That weak shit don't fly here
    It's heavy shit Boomer. It is, in fact, a trip down reactionary lane because it is a trip down reactionary lane. That it is what it is is not something for which to take issue with me. It's not my trip; I didn't book it.*

    I'm just pointing out the downside. A guy your age ought to have piles of anecdotes of women you knew who had to slug it out in a miserable existence at home because it turns out dropping out of the work force for 20 years makes it kinda hard to be on your own economically. You see, I love my kids.

    As to the merits, I hear ya. Mrs. Creep stayed home and my kids are damn near perfect. But the next generation of Creepy Super Zips are going to be even more better off. Grandma Creepy will watch the kids during the day, read them Shakespeare and play classical music all day, and when he feels like it, Grampa Creepy will teach them to golf. AND, my daughters will always be in a position to tell their husbands to go fuck off if they ever get fat and/or lazy and/or otherwise not meet our high standards.

    *This is why the Finance board would do better with this. We? don't take things so personally. You guys get hysterical any time Kobe the Lib posts anything.

    Sounds like all the pussy around you made you a real bitch. You sound like a giant vagina
    Well, I had just enough in the way of balls to take care of business so my kids didn't have to wear garage sale clothes. So, not quite that bitch and pussy.

    Sounds like you had a different experience. Sounds like your kids will tell their kids stories about growing up wearing hand-me-downs. I wonder what they'll all think of you.
    I actually feel sorry for you. You sound miserable and exactly like my mom. Judging people on their finances and social status instead of their character. My kids dont think like you and hopefully your kids dont think like you either.
