In principle, yes, would be desirable. Unfortunately, the high cost of living in Switzerland no longer allows one parent to stay at home. Only the stay-at-home parent should also be allowed/able to pay AHV contributions.
Grundsätzlich ja, wäre wünschenswert. Leider lässt es die hohen Lebenserhaltungskosten in der Schweiz nicht mehr zu, dass ein Elternteil zu Hause bleiben kann. Nur sollte der zu Hause bleibende Elternteil ebenfalls AHV-Beiträge einzahlen dürfen/können.

Even more bans, even more measures, even more laws. I am of the opinion it is enough. The day is coming when even the soothing "fart" will be taxed or banned by law.
Noch mehr Verbote, noch mehr Massnahmen, noch mehr Gesetze. Ich bin der Meinung es reicht. Es kommt der Tag, wo sogar der wohltuende "Furz" versteuert oder per Gesetz verboten wird.
