I don’t understand all this hoopla with managing career and kids.. most of us are in a position where we can afford to live decently if either one of husband or wife takes a couple of years break for pregnancy and early child care..

there are many people in the world who cannot feed themselves and their family without both of them working every single day (no weekends).. there are many single mothers who have no choice but work everyday to feed and raise their kids and they are doing just fine.. remember that many of them have to work odd hours and not regular day time jobs.. this is all part of life..

The people who are arguing about this have a combined salary of 1million dollars 

I think they are discussing logistics on how to handle childrens growth. You know these rich people won't just leave their kids to their devices and have elaborate plans and lessons they want them to take.

So this problem exists for the suburban upper middle and rich class. Not for the poor whose kids just grow up with friends.

agreed, this all part of life its neither a choice nor a job; if it was a choice we wouldn't have been here discussing this.

what is this 'taking care of' kids?

there's always weekends.

Parenting cannot be done only on weekends.

You would think so when kids are not born yet. They are our mirror image in the society. Being a good parent becomes a moral necessity. Career takes a backseat for the one who take the onus of bringing up the child with good values (usually the mother coz that’s how Indian moms brought us up)

I think kids are strangled with parenting. 

Unless parents can teach them skills like coding plumbing building stuff etc, they are just building structures that restrict the child's creativity and make the child conform to a norm.

Keeping an eye on the child is good enough instead of burdenin it with ruless.
