Raising children, taking care of the home, being in charge of the family meals, etc, is by no means "inferior" to any other job. And if both parents work outside the home, that's fine too. It's all about what works best for each family in particular. This shouldn't have to be said.
Right, a 9-year-old kid called Colin and his younger brother at junior school were real terrors, always going down the shops to shoplift after school because they couldn't bear to go back to their empty house, as both their parents worked and didn't get home for another 3 hours.
Sometimes the kids would invite us back to their house for company after school and I remember how absolutely cold and awful and dead their house was without a mum in it.
My mother never went out to work and was always there for me and my sister when we got home from school, God bless her (sniffle)..
