housewives paid?

I do not think that housewives should be paid. If someone can't handle raising their children and working than they can choose to stay at home. In choosing to stay at home they know that they will not get paid and that they are trading their income for the ability to spend more time with their children. Neither of my parents stayed home with me and I turned out fine so I don't think that people should be offered an incentive to do something that while is desired is not needed. However i do think that parents should be paid if they are home-schooling their children or if their children have a severe mental of physical disability.
