That raises some interesting some interesting questions: Does that mean it's considered negative for a woman NOT to have a career outside the home? I mean if it's considered positive to to have a career outside the home, then society is encouraging women to work outside the home, which can only be done by discouraging women to stay home. So in the interest of treating both sexes equally we must similarly consider it positive for men to have a career outside the home and must similarly encourage men to work outside the home. Do you agree?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753625747822199741.post-56506057901326445772009-05-25T23:31:11.453-04:002009-05-25T23:31:11.453-04:00It's weird that, while it's now considered normal,...It's weird that, while it's now considered normal, even positive, for a woman to have a career outside the home, people still find it surprising that there are men who stay at home with their kids.<br /><br />Maybe I'm just sensitive to it, but I feel like I'm always getting strange looks from people when I'm at the park with Sean or having lunch at a restaurant. No one thinks twice about seeing a woman alone with her kids.Thomas Litchfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04814993601032852716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753625747822199741.post-86477500651261589272009-05-24T23:36:04.409-04:002009-05-24T23:36:04.409-04:00Hi John,

However, you would be amazed at how people treat Javier when he is out with the girls by himself or just when I tell some people ohhh, he gives the girls baths at night. That is the only time he gets to be around them a quick play here and there and then its time for a bath. So, daddy comes home and gives the girls a bath and then reads to them!!! They enjoy that time with them, why should I take it away!!! People always look at me craaazzy!!! I know that you are a wonderful father and a great cook!!! I love you and Ruth to death!!!! I wish sometimes people would just keep there negativity's to themselves.FireRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045034929303829052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753625747822199741.post-75595240355894818042009-05-24T12:58:13.483-04:002009-05-24T12:58:13.483-04:00Linda,
