[quote=Anonymous]Most people view this debate in extremes when the truth is, in the DC area, there is plenty of gray area and I would say most families in my neighborhood are in that gray space (Old Town Alexandria, FWIW). Usually one parent (mom or dad) has a more flexible job, works at home at least some of the time, or is able to take time off between jobs. It isn't really a choice between two 50 hour a week workers or a full-time SAHM who never goes back to work. Also, there are a huge range of childcare options and approaches available in this area (providing you start looking early)--it isn't just a choice between a 50 hour a week center and staying at home all day with your kids.
