Bahais -- men and women -- are supposed to work. Baha'u'llah writes:
O people of Baha! It is incumbent upon each one of you to engage in some occupation -- such as a craft, a trade or the like. We have exalted your engagement in such work to the rank of worship of the one true God....
Waste not your hours in idleness and sloth, but occupy yourselves with what will profit you and others.
(Baha'u'llah, The Kitab-i-Aqdas, p. 30)
and
... man should know his own self and recognize that which leadeth unto loftiness or lowliness, glory or abasement, wealth or poverty. Having attained the stage of fulfilment and reached his maturity, man standeth in need of wealth, and such wealth as he acquireth through crafts or professions is commendable and praiseworthy in the estimation of men of wisdom, ...
(Tablets of Baha'u'llah, p. 34)
Shoghi Effendi adds:
"Every individual, no matter how handicapped and limited he may be, is under the obligation of engaging in some work or profession, for work, specially when performed in the spirit of service, is according to Baha'u'llah a form of worship. It has not only a utilitarian purpose, but has a value in itself, because it draws us nearer to God, and enables us to better grasp His purpose for us in this world. It is obvious, therefore, that the inheritance of wealth cannot make anyone immune from daily work."
(From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, March 22, 1937)
Parenting is one of the things that profits ourselves and others.
