I think one of the major contributors to the degradation of society is so many mothers leaving their children in daycare. You can’t have it all, something’s gotta give and it’s usually the children’s well-being.

A woman I know told the story of how, when her maternity leave for her youngest had ended and she was headed back to work, her 3(?)-year-old screamed and wet his pants. She told it for laughs ... my heart broke for that boy. He didn't want their big house in the burbs - he wanted his mother.

That she told that story because she thought it was funny speaks volumes about her priorities. That poor little boy.

That is so sad; it is a lie they can “have it all”. What part of that includes having strangers raise your children?

Motherhood is a very demanding full-time profession, and the results are clear to see when it is treated as anything less. I pity people who are unable to raise their own children; thankfully we had extended family that could help.
