Talk about unsung
heroines! Your story The Rising Cost of Raising Kids says nothing about
the women and their husbands who collaborate in raising kids without the dubious
benefit of childcare depleting their bank account.
Significantly shedding a
poor light on the stay-at-home state, the only such mother mentioned is counting
down the days till her only child gets to kindy, stumping up $46 a week for
childcare “for a moment’s sanity”.
This kid needs company,
but maybe mother thinks the prohibitive cost of childcare also prohibits her son
from the company of any siblings.
I wish she could get to
know Christian families who don’t run the risks of long-term contraceptives
and/or abortion, who have several children in quite quick succession who amuse
one another, challenge one another and okay, sometimes fight - but soon sort
themselves out.
And in the meantime, in
the hubbub the mother makes their clothes, and their meals (often home-grown),
and sometimes schools them too, teaching them the skills she uses in order to do
all the above.
This is by far the most
important career: making happy families and future citizens, of this world and
the next.
