Sounds like you have issues about stayng home with your kids. No need to knock Cath26 down. My wife works and I'm grateful and my children are grateful she does. I have a woman working for me whose husband lost his job. She felt bad one day because she couldn't put her daughter on the bus the first day of school. I told her she has absolutely no reason to feel bad or guilty. She is supporting her family in a very meaningful way. She is going to work to provide health insurance and pay the mortgage, where would your family be if you didn't show up to work? She was doing what has to be done.
No one had come down on working moms. But Cath26 became defensive.
A lot of women need to work. A lot of women don't need to work. A lot of women can handle families and work. Some can't. It's a mixed bag. It's not a perfect world but it's okay to discuss options and outcomes.
Somehow I doubt that.
Apparently you've told yourself that often enough that you believe it yourself, though.
