Why can't we pay the parents br to stay home instead of leave? br I think there'd be more children br who would love instead of grieve. br br I say let's pay a salary br for each thing that they do. br Make it an actual career br and watch the child shine through! br br Make them take it serious br and give weekly reports. br Have them tell of happenings br the good, the bad....all sorts! br br Pay them so they're happy br to have chosen this ''career''. br Let them see the happy face br that says ''My mom is here! '' br br Say certain things are ''overtime'' br like all the evening games. br The after school activities br where the parent will learn names. br br I think more people would choose it br but this world is not set up br to accommodate the ''family'' br and so they just soon give up. br br This plan may seem too crazy, br I admit... it may just be. br But what is this world missing? br It's the value in ''family''.
