Family Values

Taking care of a child is the hardest thing anyone can
do ... it has certainly forced me to examine what I
know and what I can do and what I need to learn and
all that ... often it can be overwhelming ... it is
interesting that now that some boundaries have fallen
- men getting custody of chidren - I hope there is
more awareness of "true family values" which should
include an appreciation of what stay-at-home moms do
and not penalize them for not working (and not just
the marriage penalty taxes) ... In this the
Republicans have failed miserably also ... they talk
about "family values" but those are code words for
"church going" "sunday school attending" "male
dominated" and all that ... with no real recognition
of "family values"
