Is it LAZY for women to stay home with the kids?

Two men and two women in Pécs, Hungary engaged the claim, “Women should stay home and raise the children.” Both women disagree, one man agrees, and the other man slightly agrees. All four participants are unmarried students without children.

One woman expresses concern that society views homemakers negatively while working women have more prestige. “I don’t want to be viewed as someone who is just raising kids,” she said. The other woman highlights the economic necessity for both parents to work.

The man who agrees with the claim believes there is a unique connection between mothers and children (particularly through breastfeeding). Both men disapprove of any social stigma attached to women who don’t have careers. One says that raising children is the “most awesome and most beautiful thing.”

By the end of the discussion, one participant changes lines.
