"Being a full-time parent is, in fact, a full-time job, and it's a very important job"

but it's... not. not when your kids are in school all day, anyway. and it can't honestly be that "important" if most parents don't do it and manage to raise their kids all right.

I say do what you want and have fun with it, but seriously roll my eyes at this "being a stay-at-home-parent is a full-time and important job" stuff. seems to discount the parenting ability of working parents, as though they are missing something, which they are not.

Not trying to discount working parents by any means.

When your kids are very young, however, you have the option of either putting them in daycare, or having a parent stay home and care for them. Either option is valid, and both require that someone pays a lot of attention to the child (and one requires that you put money into it as well). This becomes even more true when you have multiple kids. Small children DO require constant attention for their own safety - less as they grow older, of course.

not when your kids are in school all day, anyway.

School isn't every day of the year, nor does it tend to cover the entire workday when it is...

A lot of people get older relatives to care for kids, and some workplaces or local communities offer free daycare - it's not an either/or thing between stay at home or shell out for daycare. For older kids, there's after-school (which is often very cheap even if it's not free) and often cheap summer day-camp programs run by schools or communities. It's very variable how friendly a society is towards working mothers, but there's a good deal of leeway even in the USA.
