[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s an issue of location and hcol.  I think no matter what one parent has to step way back professionally.  it should usually be the mom, at least in the early years for pretty practical reasons. That said, I think women should always keep a toe in the professional world whether part time or taking certification classes, because husbands can of course have heart attacks or hoe attacks.  But they shouldn’t be expected to work full time while raising school aged kids.  I’m a feminist, I have a masters.  I do work part time but very luckily telework due to having seniority but I don’t think we are doing any families nor especially moms a service by normalizing a mortgage that requires two incomes.  It should not be the norm it’s miserable for all but a few families.  Also we should normalize returning to work after a couple years of nurturing a human the same way we applaud ceos who climb mountains or take sabbaticals instead of treating mothers who take extended leave with contempt.
