you know that there are canonized saints that wre both mothers and professionals, right?
 
that’s a major assumption, to think she’s not raising her own kids, and frankly, even if she did have a nanny, her childcare options are not anyone’s business. for the better part of history, anyone who could afford it jumped at the chance to have hired help and the church has never asid that it’s wrong, not sure why the idea has suddenly become so taboo in the 21st centurey

But it is a competition. A man has to provide for his family and would by definition be competing with his wife. I never said a woman working is a sin, far from it. So no doubt there are working women that are saints. And yes it is a problem when someone who is not your parent is raising you. Imo, it is neglect and should be a last resort. @angell1

Do you live in the East? 😊
What culture do you belong to, if not a secret?😊
I am now listening to the lectures of the Iranian dissident, and I admire the heroism of many Iranian women in the struggle for their rights.
At a time when the rights of women in the entire civilized world are considered the norm, in other countries of the east, women are fighting for the elementary recognition of being an equal human being, and their courage and lack of fear of risk is simply amazing.

how is providing for your family a competition? the catholic church has never viewed work in that type of way. and the work that you do is so much more than just about making money. also, using childcare services does not all of a sudden equate to neglect. in certain cases, it could be but this can’t just be a blanket statement kind of thing, it really depends on the family. i’ll give you an example, my mom was a stay at home mom, but because she had a very dominating and controlling type of personality, she thought her job was to shepherd me and micromanage my life, it was like being watched like a hawk at all times, my dad was the only breadwinner, so he ended up working three jobs for the first 7 years of my life, i hardly ever saw him, to the point that i actually refused to call him dad and only referred to him by his first name becase i felt that i didn’t even know him, until this day, my mother sitll think it’s her job to micromanage my life, if she had worked part time back then, i think it would have been better for all of us, i’m not trying to be ungrateful or place blame on anyone, but i’ts just giving you a different perspective, it does not always turn out to be this golden rosy scenario that everyone seems to think it is.

Yes, exactly, household staff helping raise the kids has been the norm in better off households going back to antiquity. To my knowledge, the Church never had an issue with this as long as parents didn’t neglect their children. Not to derail the thread, but it’s stuff like this that makes me scratch my head when I hear on CAF “traditionalist celebrity priest so and so says it’s a sin to send kids to daycare” stuff.
 
Wow - this post was incredibly uncharitable and judgmental.

I assume you condemn and judge anyone who sends their kids to school, even Catholic schools? After all, the teachers are “raising” your kids from 9-3.

You are way out of line… whether it be a daycare, pre-school, or school, no decent parent is entrusting their children to “random strangers”, but rather to professionals they have vetted and, hopefully in time, come to know fairly well. And even when there is a necessity for a child to spend part of their days in a daycare or pre-school or school (depending on the age), that doesn’t eliminate the evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays at home with parents.

I think kids deserve better than random strangers raising them. But hey, we can’t all love our children apparently.

So my parents, one working to provide for our family, and one in school to provide a better life for our family, didn’t love me because they sent me to daycare?

I suggest you calm down.

Did one of your parents need to go to school?

Yes. You think the man should be the breadwinner after all, correct? That parent going to school was my dad.

How was what I said uncharitable? I did not intend to be uncharitable so I am sorry if you had that impression.

You made a blanket statement of saying that parents who send their children to daycare and let “strangers” raise them don’t love them. That’s uncharitable.

Well yeah that’s different obviously. Calm down I am feeling like there is a lot of hostility towards me today.

Because, to be frank, you’re putting your foot in your mouth. Your post doesn’t take various situations into account. That’s why you need to be careful with general remarks.

When you say things like “We can’t all love our children apparently” you will make a lot of people very upset.

You have no right to be defensive. This is your fault.
 
Well I didn’t mean it like that. I’m sorry that wasn’t more clear. I had no intention to insult anyone’s family or their love for their children.
