No, I don't think being an airline pilot is better than being a mom. I do think that a person (man or woman) who just gets out of h.s., say, stays at home and starts having kids is not very bright, IMO, especially in this day and age. It's not 1950 anymore. This situation just sets you up to rely solely on someone else and that is not too smart. What if your husband dies or something? Now, you are screwed. (And, no, life insurance is not a good enough back up plan) If you set yourself up with some kind of back up plan (be it college degree or trade), now you can take care of yourself and your kids. There is nothing that pi$$es me off more than a person that is looking for someone to take care of them.
Times certianly change.....
Consider pre 1950 a man needed a woman and vice versa. One couldn't do it alone. But our current society, culture and economy allows individuals to be..... self sufficient... and that has led us to the mantra...
Up yours! I got mine....
Problem is.... the kids get caught in the middle..... there are only losers...
