I passed two people on my walk from the parking lot this morning who were discussing their kids. This is the extent of the conversation I heard:
"My kids are still little and at home."
"Yeah, my kids are grown up and out of the house. In fact, I sent both my daughters to four years of college and all they're doing is raising kids at home."
I can't let that kind of blinkard stupidity go unchallenged. I turned around and told the man (after apologizing for eavesdropping), "I guarantee your daughters work four times as hard as they would in the workforce."

But what's your take? Are stay-at-home moms throwing away their hard collegiate work by staying home? Are they also wasting the money it took to get them there? Should a dad be regretful or bitter that his daughters decided to stay out of the rat race? Is he getting a good return on his investment?
Is this dad right or wrong? Justified in his outrage or blinded by his priorities?
