Women Would Rather Stay At Home 2?

Another story from the "Duh" file. Many western men want to raise their kids in a "traditional" home like they remember from childhood. Mom nurtures the kids, dad puts up with the boss, and through different roles they achieve something together.

Many western women want as much choice as they can get, and who can blame them? I'd prefer the whole candy bar to just one bite. All of us seek as much choice as we can get. Over my young life, I've witnessed many of my lady friends with professional degrees decide it wasn't all they thought it would be, they long for something more fulfilling. And let's face it, anyone who has worked in nearly any industry long enough will want out, work outside the home just ain't that much fun

Which is why marrying a foreign bride seems so natural. Indeed, if American women are coming back around to the idea that staying at home is far preferable to the time clock, the decision to marry a "traditional" woman seems quite logical. hoThey value the rewards such a lifestyle affords, nurtured children

Here's another article out of the UK talking about the phenomenon of women prefering to stay at home, from "SKYNEWS."

Two-thirds of working mothers would prefer to stay at home to care for their children, according to a report.

Research found that 62% of mothers who work full and part-time and have children under seven would like to leave their jobs.

The survey found 84% of parents were "physically worn out", while 68% felt "exhausted" and "emotionally drained".

Eight out of 10 mothers surveyed said they had less than an hour a day to themselves while 57% of parents felt there was "not enough time in the day for normal family life".

Dani Zur, general manager of UKfamily.co.uk, Disney's new parenting website, which carried out the research, said: "Motherhood has never been harder than it is today.

"Most families now need a two-parent income to survive, which means there is less time for normal family life."

Suzy Greaves, UKfamily.co.uk's Life Coach, said: "This research shows how many of us think we'd be a 'better parent' if we had more time.

"We feel guilty about everything - the amount of time we spend at work, the lack of time we have to play with our children and the amount of time our kids spend in childcare.

"As a result, many working parents, especially mums, are running themselves ragged trying to overcompensate."
