[quote=Anonymous][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.  [b]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.  [/b]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]

The difference between you and me is that I completely understand why you want to SAH, but you don't understand why I don't want to SAH and are blatantly and unapologetically judging my choice.[/quote]

I guess so because I do definitely believe that it's important and very valuable to families and society for infants and toddlers to be cared for by a parent who wants to be doing that.  I don't think you "completely understand" that at all given your judgmental tone in your reply.[/quote]

For someone who is so anti-daycare, it’s interesting you spend so much time in this sub-forum. Are you bored?[/quote]

I was intrigued to see in Recent Topics a thread that indicated that NY Mag agrees with me, that Daycare is Broken.  I spend time regularly in sub forums with threads that interest me.  No I'm not bored.[/quote]
