8. Staying at home with the kids is lazy? What f'n planet is he on?

I'd rather work OT in a shipyard pulling armored T-400 cable through an engine room for a week then stay at home with "the kids" for a week. I bet McInnes couldn't stay at home, do the work that goes on maintaining a household, and look after a couple toddlers for a day. Sure, it's great fun taking a day off work and taking the kids out to the park or the zoo, eating out and bringing home take-out for dinner, but that's not "staying at home".
nd having a Nanny doesn't count.
At least on a job you have a cohort or co-workers helping to level and manage the effort. And women usually have to work twice as hard than a man of their own class or race to get the same recognition (and don't get me started on racial recognition in the workplace).
At home, it's just you, the house and yard, and the kids.
