[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only reason this is newsworthy is because it's written by a woman. Men have been doing this kind of parenting for generations and get praise for it. [/quote] Men have been doing this kind of parenting for generations and have, rightfully, been vilified for it. Literature is full of stories of children who are unhappy because of a father who was absent due to work. Some people don’t have the luxury to choose prioritizing work over family. Ms. Bazelon is not one of those people. She is making a choice. And in the end, I suspect when she is on her death bed she will not wish she had depend more time at work (even work as important as hers).[/quote] I suspect on her death bed she'll remember the people she got out of jail and the ijnustices she worked against, and how hard she worked to both fulfill her moral duty and be a good parent.
