As a parent, you serve as a stay-at-home parent and when your children one day ask why you do nothing, what exactly will be your response? That you are babysitting them? Or that you had your career shut down because of them?

Those are great questions. I think no parent should make their kid feel that they are missing something for having them and taking care of them.

Interesting point of view, since tradicional religious way of thinking.
