Do you think fathers should stay home to raise their children (as opposed to working outside the home) while their children are not in school?

Yes, yes I do. If that doesn't seem possible, then the mother could stay home. If that doesn't seem possible, then connections with the family and community could be vital to the children's longer term successes. Please carefully consider your options. I have 12 (twelve!) grandchildren. Several are being raised by strangers, and I am convinced it will make a less than positive difference to them in the long run. Just my experience, yours could be different.

I think that if one parent can afford to not go to work during the day to put food on the table, then that would be a wonderful idea, same as a woman. My dad worked nights, so he raised me during the day.

If possible, sure why not. The presence of parents around during the formative years is very valuable. Of course, we're used to seeing the mother around more often during infancy because she has the breasts with the milk.

Neither of my parents finished highschool when they were younger. So they both went and studied to get their highschool equivelancy(sp?) later on. While my mother studied for hers, my father worked, and while my father studied for his my mother worked. It essentially amounted to me and my siblings getting to be raised by both parents, rather than one working and the other doing most of the child-raising. I dont think Fathers should have to but they should certainly be able to.

It depends where the mother is, I suppose. I am not sure how many people are in the position to have both parents at home.

I think that whenever possible either of the parents (or even both!) should be at home with the children. I hate that our society is geared so that children are raised in groups by daycare providers while both parents are forced to work to make ends meet.

I think that up to the family and the situation at the time. If the kids do better with the father around then ok if they do better with the mother then ok. But I feel that a family decision .
