[quote=Anonymous]"And then we cycle back around to the age old question that pp brought up of, shouldn't I stay home and raise the kid myself? If I don't technically "need" to work then is it selfish and detrimental to my kid to drop it off at daycare 40 hours a week?" Do you think that fathers who work don't raise their children? Do you think that people whose kids spend the day in school aren't raising them? My mother worked, and there is zero question in my mind that she raised me-- always felt her love and care and she was by far the most important and formative influence on my values and life choices. No matter who helps you care for your children, you are raising them. My mom worked hard and was an amazing role model to me; I don't think that she was selfish because she wanted to use her full potential in places other than the home. You have to do what seems right for you and your family, not worry about buzzwords in the Mommy Wars. [/quote]
