    I was talking to a few people, and they all seemed to want to quickly go back to work to “support the family” except they had quite a few kids who looked ecstatic amd happy that they were staying home for the time being
    I asked honestly why they would do that to their kids,
    Well, ” I want to”
    “This is the lifestyle I chose”
    On what alter
    The suffering of your family?
    Are we selling the stability of our families to “learning”

    Making them suffer 6-8 hours a day because of belief system
    What is wrong with us

    Since your post is incredibly vague on the context you are attacking, I will answer using the interpretation I have chosen.

    While I agree that it would be better if I could be home for my children when they get off the bus, discuss their days with them, do homework with them, and play with them.
    While I agree that more attention would likely help them socially and scholastically.

    My belief system does not allow me to take the easy way out and send them to public school, buy non-kosher food at significantly lower prices, and skip the incredibly costly Yomim Tovim.
    Therefore, I work my tail off in spite of the fact that it means coming home after my kids are asleep.
    I work my tail off despite missing milestones in my children’s lives, ranging from first smiles to first teeth falling out, from first steps to first friendships.
    Yes, my children cherish Shabbos and Sunday when I am off of work.
    And yes, when my children snuggle up to me in the middle of the night, it is often the only weekday interaction they have with their father.
    Yes, it hurts that I can’t be there more for them.

    But, no!
    I will not send my children to public school even if that means I could work less hours.
    I don’t know what sort of ragebait sicko you are, but my children’s learning is important, whether you like it or not!

    So, go back to your little misery hole and focus on ragebaiting yourself instead of others.
