"I will resist a smart-ass reply congratulating you on being one of the 11 remaining members of society who can get by on a single income, especially given the forecasts that 15 years from now (when my daughter is ready for college), four years at a public institution will run somewhere in the neighborhood of $129,788."

Lady, you wouldn't have to be worried about a single income if you were married to Julia's father. But it's possible, even if you were, you'd still be talking about Julia's extended family because your professional life seems to be more important than the early years of your little girl.

Don't get me wrong. I don't begrudge women having careers, I just don't like them putting down, or being snide to women who have decided to fore-go, or delay a career so that they can raise their own children, at least until they are old enough that they don't have to be led around by Mommy-surrogates all day long, no matter now entertaining they are.

Does this women think she's not smart enough to provide those stimulating experiences for her own child, if she delayed her own career for six short years to give Julia her entire attention before she goes off to school for 6 hours each day?

SuziQ,

Just the opposite. This woman thinks she is too smart and clever. It’s just a pipe dream; not a very good one either.

I suppose this is Oprah’s way of counteracting what has been said of her lately.

Sorry, it won’t work, Oprah. Nothing will ever come remotely close to a family of a father, mother and children.
