Hey, are Catholic grade schools as good today as they were when I attended in the '60's? As an adult I continue to be so thankful that my parents worked their fingers to the bone to send us 7 kids to parochial school, and though I'm no longer a Catholic, that schooling was one of the best things that ever happened to me. (By the way...my wife and I have homeschooled our kids for 16 years now.)

Well, there's nothing wrong with working. But, in case you haven't noticed, stay-at-home moms get criticized more heavily than working moms. You're supposed to be "super moms", according to Sesame Street and everyone in the media. I myself worked up to a year-and-a-half ago, but I worked nights and weekends. Even if we wanted to put our children in daycare, we couldn't have afforded it. Now, with three kids, we can't afford to continue raising them on just three hours' sleep a night, so I'm at home full-time now. Yet, if you believe the media, I am either "lazy", "wealthy", or simply "oppressed". I can't count the number of times people have commented why I am not working DURING THE DAY with my children in daycare "because they need that socialization..." It was like: OK, then YOU pay for it for me.
