Hmmmm. I think that what Total 180 is trying to do (make it so you don't feel like you have to "explain" why you're staying home to every joe shmoe)is a worthwhile cause. I do think that sometimes we forget why we are home: we love our families and feel it is going to better their future. As for equality in labor...why? Many men I've spoken to who are in their 80's now, whose wives stayed home, feel their wives got the better payoff. Now years later, when the kids call, most guys hear, "Hi, Dad. Is Mom home?" And in the end that's the payoff that is worth the most. The money will be spent, dishes will be dirty again, but the kids will always love those who cared for them.
