Putting commentary aimed at specific users is generally a bad idea; it distracts from your relevant points (especially when you have to get past such a lengthy and irrelevant intro). Please consider removing it; it seems like you're really addressing just one or two users, at the cost of the quality of your answer. | |

There are multiple polls and studies done on this topic though. apa.org/news/press/releases/2011/12/working-moms.aspx | |

| Apr 11, 2017 at 0:22 | comment | added | user27219 | There are plenty of polls indicating that women who choose to stay at home with children are happier, if you care to look into it. I'm saying they are not necessarily relevant to his daughters personal decision. Where on Earth did you get "forced motherhood" from?? I have no idea where this criticism of things I never said is even coming from. Stay at home moms constantly face these kinds of negative attacks and I think you should think before making just attacks on people who choose to care for their children. | |
| Apr 11, 2017 at 0:14 | comment | added | user27219 | Please don't quote things I did not say. Nowhere did I say or imply anything about "forced motherhood" or that the asker's concerns are not valid. If you have negative views toward motherhood, don't take them out on me and things I did not say. Go write your own answer and leave mine alone. | |
| Apr 10, 2017 at 22:36 | comment | added | AnoE | -1 for the gist of "OP's concern is not valid and he just doesn't see". Forced motherhood = happier life? Really? There are representative studies for that? | |
| Apr 10, 2017 at 12:00 | comment | added | user27219 | It would be really unfair to the asker for me to assume that they are so sensitive that they would be unable to comprehend what I've written. I really can't bring myself to edit my answer without feeling I am insulting the reader's intelligence. | |
| Apr 10, 2017 at 11:51 | comment | added | user27219 | Well, I never did assert that motherhood will be the happier path for his daughter. As far as how others "may" read it, I can only write it. I can't read it for them. I think if you read more carefully you'll see it is fine as it is. It's very similar to many other answers here. Please read carefully and don't blame me for misinterpretations beyond my control. | |
| Apr 10, 2017 at 9:50 | comment | added | mtraceur | I can tell you mean well, but I think there's a couple of things in your answer that might turn off the asker and similar parents from taking in the positives from your answer. For example, maybe moving the key gist of the first "motherhood is the happier path" paragraph into the second one touching on the topic would feel less "preachy" to many people? And do you think the wording of "I know the real concern" is likely to be read correctly, or are people likely to read that as you just dismissing/denying what the person is saying about their concerns/thoughts on the matter? | |
