It just shows how brainwashed our girls are and how far removed they are from the true torah values once taught in Frum Jewish High Schools. Many, many moons ago our High Schools taught young women how to Kasher a Chicken. That is unheard of in today’s schools, utterly ridiculous. But girls in our schools also went on to be doctors and lawyers. But the basis for the Frum Jewish home was emphasized which it no longer is. Today’s emphasis is on careers.
The other huge issue is that young woman in today’s schools are NOT taught that having babies are a gift and one that should NOT be taken lightly. There is nothing as stimulating and intellectual as documenting the nuances of a child. That is not intelligent enough for you, read books, take on-line courses while your baby sleeps. That is so much better than handing her over to a babysitter. If you need to work, then do so, but to foolishly say that you need more stimulation than a baby? Shame on you, go volunteer your time to fertility clinic where hundreds and thousands of couple come in for treatment because they would be more than happy to stay home and raise a baby and be stimulated by every coo, smile and turn. Ask any special ed teacher who does early intervention how little stimulation their students have gotten in their very vulnerable years. Why are they working on colors, shapes, and groups with these 4 and 5 year olds. Isn’t that something mothers normally do with their babies? There is a huge differene in children who’s mothers were home with them verses those children whose mothers were not and care was left to spanish housekeepers or play groups. Mothers who feel their intellectual stimulation is more important than that of their baby’s should take a good hard look in the mirror and remember what motherhood is all about.
Sorry if I offended anyone, I have a very strong opinion on this.
