Re: Armenian lesbians/gays
Of course, I never said father should not participate, Father should also be active in raising children. It's just roles are different.
What I mean financially struggling is when you don't have enough money for bread, and necessary supplies like clothes or a car that is needed. Financially struggling is not when you are not able to afford fancy vacations.
Of course man and woman contribute, again just the roles are different, mainly biological. Woman have more intimate relationship with the child from early age, man also contributes in other lessons to the child.
Nothing of my views depict that. They depict traditional, conservative family values, that is very much centre to Armenian society.

How would you define "struggling financially"? My family want those three vacations in the Med each year, want to give our children the widest experience possible of different countries. We want 2 new cars every second year, we want every consumer product available. So both parents work, we juggle our diaries and easily manage. Our children always leave the house in the morning with at least one parent there and return after school with , again, at least one parent there.
Or are we guilty of rampant consumerism? Where would you draw your line as to when it's acceptable for both parents to work? It's becoming more and more common for people to work from home, the convenience for the employee and the cost-savings for employers are very attractive, in fact I work from home and can do some chores during my "working day". I "slave" over the laundry, throw the clothes in the machine and sometime later they're done, not exactly taking them down to the river to beat them on rocks is it?

My wife sometimes makes more in a year than I do, sometimes I make more but that's not the point is it? When I decided I was ready for parenthood just when did my responsibility for raising my children end? Two parents to share the responsibilities, to the share the tears, to share the joy and laughter, to share the pride, to share the love.
My wife takes care of me but I also make sure that I take care of her, it's a partnership, a tag-team. We interlock and her strengths compensate my weaknesses and vice versa.

Mos, I don't know if you're single, married, divorced or what, but if the views you've posted in this thread are your real opinions I think you'll spend a lot of your life alone. That would be a shame.
