Kids are exactly what true feminists do not wish to address; and all their supposed solutions--abortion, day care--address only their own needs.
I have a phD in engineering and two kids. Never, at any time did my husband and I consider day care--we simply didn't want someone else raising our kids. Sure, it was hard, and even now, I sometimes regret the career I set aside (especially when I find my "superiors" to be paragons of cluelessness like this author). But my husband, whom I love dearly, credits my staying home with how wonderfully our kids have turned out. One is in law school, the other in grad school. And me? I started a new career in teaching, and am delighted day by day to work with high school kids. Rest assured, the future is in good hands; there are many, many kids with their heads straight--many kids who love their parents and appreciate their parents, especially their moms.
You made a wise decision. Congratulations.
We certainly don't have all the gadgets that alot of our friends have, but I wouldn't trade any of it.
My wife does home day care, after getting her degree in education years ago.
Our eldest in now in her second year in college, and the two others are in high school, and junior high.
