“It seems to me that giving birth to and raising a child is a full time job.

I never bought into the women wanting to “have it all” philosophy, but that's just my opinion. “

I am shocked by such progressive views expressed here. This is why US is truly behind in regards to maternity leave benefits. Women are truly discriminated in this country (based on the opinion above). Having a baby does not equal having your brain removed. FREEDOM OF CHOICE.

Just my opinion. It is not against the law to have an opinion.

And you are certainly free to put your children in day care 23 hours a day if you like. Whatever.

I ain’t gonna participate in a flame war over it.

There’s a lot of us women who would be pretty offended by your implication that staying at home with baby is a brainless task.

I’m going to get to stay home with mine, and trust me, I love my job, but I can’t imagine sticking baby in daycare.
