Study: Kids Whose Moms Don’t Work Full Time More Likely To Get Into Stanford

Does collecting WIC, SNAP, AFDC, and Section 8 while having multiple bastard children count as “working full time”?

After sitting in the parents’ section of the Stanford football players of 2012 - 2016, including 3 Rose Bowls, I’ve learned that Stanford moms kick butt!

[Karliner]

Maybe my ideas don’t jibe but being a mom is an eighteen year job. It’s hard doing both. I’ve seen women busting their butts trying to raise a family and get a degree. Not many succeed in both. Just personal observation I’d suggest a woman needs to pick one or end up failing at both( most)

[PGR88]

While obviously true, this idea is fundamentally anti-feminist, anti-leftist and anti-post-modern.

Except for a few intelligent parents, American society will plug their ears and ignore such information.

Capitalism may be better than socialism, but capitalism wants women to work.

There needs to be something other than economic pressure to guide peoples' behavior or the demographic transition will depopulate the Earth.

[“The additional time, energy and attention that stay-at-home-mothers were able to devote to supervising their children’s studies and peer interactions and to participating in school-related volunteer efforts seem to have paid off in terms of their offspring’s academic success,” study author Nicholas Zill said in a statement.]

Kellyanne Conway’s issues with her eldest daughter are a case in point. While she is out saving the world, she is raising the enemy within. Unless there are grandparents actively involved on a day-to-day basis, and living in the same household, there is no substitute for active parenting.

AOC would say that’s white privilege!

[Persevero]

The most ideal situation for a human child is to be raised by both of his two living parents until maturity. Mom in the home.

Anything less than that is short of ideal. In that case have to do the best we can. But it’s what we should strive for.

It’s amusing to hear men on this site blame Kellyanne Conway for her daughter’s behavior. The kid is a bad seed and her father is obviously a bad role model. Why not blame the father at least equally?

[Persevero]

In my unscientific observation families who have mom at home and dad working do very well, capitalistically speaking.

There are great hidden costs to not having mom at home. Like divorce, affairs, childcare, house cleaning, maintenance of everything, support for husband to go get it, driving, cooking, all that.

There was a meta study that came out a couple of decades ago that said the same thing. On all measures of well-being, achievement, etc. mother care produced the best result. The number two position I think was religious orphanages. Third party care including nannies, grandparents and day care were not so good.

I think most women that are middle class earners want to stay home, unfortunately it is difficult to afford this. I would like to see the federal government provide tax incentives/lower taxes to encourage mother’s to stay home, while Dad goes to work.

Black Children Matter: They need stable, 2-parent families. Only the Black community can change the culture.

***I think most women that are middle class earners want to stay home, unfortunately it is difficult to afford this.***

It is difficult to afford, epecially if you want a new wardrobe every season, more than one car, a house full of stuff, and vacations twice a year.

Otherwise, there are lots of ways to make one paycheck work. It sure isn’t easy, but it’s doable. Been there, done that.

It is difficult to afford, especially if you want a new wardrobe every season, more than one car, a house full of stuff, and vacations twice a year.

Yup. We went from two VERY used cars to one new car, Mrs. Sivana shops at Goodwill online for clothes (some great deals!), no vacations in two years, and just a moderate amount of stuff (though I do keep my work computer very up-to-date). Our children are homeschooled, and my wife shares in the sacrifices so she can concentrate on being a wife and mother.

[Mouton]

No. Greed wants women to work. My buddy one of seven children was raised by a stay at home mom with a working dad because they put raising a family over possessions. They live in a small home have one car and seem to be well raised and happy as clams.

[strider44]

Water is wet. Story at 11. Kids with attentive stay-at-home parent(s) do better in school. No shit.

[discostu]

Woh rich kids get into good schools. Go figure.

[dfwgator]

Having both parents working results in a lot more expenses, like daycare, needing two cars, etc. Subtract all those extra costs, and you’ll find that unless both work very high paying jobs, it’s not that economically advantageous.
