I think all those single women out there raising kids by themselves have it too easy. Heck half of them just sit around all day collecting child welfare and watching Dancing with the Stars - sure their baby daddies may not be helping them raise their kids, but raising a baby is probably the easiest job in the world, probably not much more hard than taking care a dog - anyone who's not retarded could do it - so those baby daddies have it a lot harder having to go out and get a real job and actually pay their own bills. I think instead of having to pay child support, single moms on welfare should have to go out and get a part-time job so they can pay their baby daddies 'beer support' - that way after a long day of real work, a guy can go out to the bar, drink some beer with his buddies, play some pool or do whatever - that'd be so much fairer.
I figure the male and female roles should be different, if only because we're different people with different strengths and weaknesses - but all in all it should roughly add up to the same amount of work. That was what we had under the stereotypical 1950s family unit - the father brought in the income, the mother kept the home. I have no problem with other arrangements, but I think that one works quite nicely, in reverse too. If you can't figure this sort of stuff out amicably you probably shouldn't be in a relationship together.
Funny enough, but obviously written by someone who has never had to take care of kids, to include baby sitting grandkids. May the diaper pail be with you.
