I just read a very interesting NC Register article by the ever-interesting Jennifer Fulwiler, called "Men's Real Vocations are Not Their Careers".
You ought to read the full article, but here's a short sample:
"It's a tricky situation. For the dad who is the sole source of income for his family, part of being a good father certainly involves bringing home that paycheck. He has to take his job seriously. Unfortunately, though, this idea is too often expanded to mean that men have carte blanche to put their work-related goals at the very top of their life priority lists. Their stay-at-home wives have the 'sacrificing career goals for the family' stuff covered, so they're free to pour themselves into the workplace."
I was pretty impressed, first with the delicate way she talks about a question in the Church, without really offering a condemnation, and then, with the comments people are posting in response to her article. I have read a lot of discussions on controversial blogposts lately, and I'm pretty sick of how heated things get. However, the comments seem to be really fair.
What do you think about this idea?
