How can anyone deny breastfeeding? Its the natural, nature, god given way to feed your child. Formula can not duplicate what breast-feeding does for the child.

What I really want to know is this: Does the secks really slow down once you've had kids? That's all I really want to know.

My wife is a stay at home mom. Several times she has been told by school teachers, that they can see a vast difference between day-care raised kids and parent raised kids. One explained that her personal belief was that kids from day-care were used to having to fight for adult attention and therefore more aggressive than kids raised by a parent.Originally Posted by colleyvillesooner

Single moms are going to be cursed with horrid children until the end of time I'm afraid.
maybe mom has to go to work? maybe mom and baby never get synched and it just doesn't work? there are a lot of factors and from the women I've talked to that did breastfeed or at least tried it, it's not near as easy as it seems like it would be.Originally Posted by mrowl

I don't think I'd even be interested in a woman who didn't have some sort of career. How much she makes isn't really of interest, but I can't imagine being interested in a woman whose sole ambition is to become someone's wife and babymaking factory.
Please note I am not implying that anyone who has decided to stay home and take care of kids has made the wrong decision or is nothing but a baby-making factory. Nor am I saying that even having that as an ambition is wrong-I just don't think that someone with that as their ambition would be a very interesting lifemate for me.

your right. It is hard. And also very selfish to say "I have to go to work"Originally Posted by 1stTimeCaller
And if mom and baby keep working at it, it will work.

You people do realize you can breastfeed and work, right?
What are the big differences between formula fed kids and breast fed kids?Originally Posted by mrowl
That's right, there aren't any.

My point is this, all things equal, I think a kid gets more out of having a stay at home mom rather than not. Doesn't mean you can't grow up to be a productive member of society (as 1TC put it) if both your parents work, just that it is generally better to have the stay at home mom.
I really don't see how that is debatable.
That said, it is getting harder and harder to make that work. To be honest, I don't see how it could work in a bigger city like Dallas. With what I make now, I'd likely need supplemental income to raise a family in Dallas. If I lived in Tulsa or OKC though, I could probably get by.
