[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand that it is normal and expected that women want to have a career and maximize their potential.  But, it also seems normal to want to care for your own baby when they are infants and toddlers, until they are old enough to self report about their day and also to attend actual school full time.  What I guess I don't understand is that the career and self actualization seems to have become more important than that time spent with your young children.  I think the reason there are "mommy wars" is because these two things are both very important. Each of us prioritizes according to our beliefs but there is no one correct answer.

I don't personally think it is the government or society's obligation to satisfy one or the other of these choices, especially when it actually is a choice.[/quote]

She cares for their children herself. They are learning a lot from watching Peppa Pig all day.[/quote]
