The social media world of parents, stay-at-home moms in particular is blowing up after President Obama’s speech in Providence, Rhode Island on 10/13/14.

During his speech, Obama was going about about the need for better childcare and his main solution was high quality childcare for children, but not wanting Americans, mainly women making the choice to stay home. Here’s his exact words from the transcript…

There have been many stay-at-home moms who quickly lashed out on Facebook and Twitter to show their anger from his words, and rightfully so!

Mollie Hemingway published an article on The Federalist title 3 Reasons President Obama is Wrong About Stay-At-Home Mothers, and again, I agree with her stance.

But, this leaves me thinking, does Obama think it would be better for more men to be Stay-At-Home fathers instead? Or, is he just thinking we don’t exist and it’s only women who stay at home? I’m a major support of any at-home and working parent as I am and have been both and if works in your family, that’s the best thing!

Having a parent stay home to raise the kid(s) is wonderful for their development and saves a lot of hassle from dealing with getting them to and from daycare along with the expense similar to if not greater than sending them to college.

Anyway, just had to share my thoughts on our President’s great ideas (sense my sarcasm) and would like to get your thoughts.

How do you feel about Obama’s words on childcare and stay-at-home parenting?
